South Pacific the musical has arrived in Brisbane. I saw it this week and it was lovely and definitely worth it, if you are considering this one. It had the very distinct sound of Rodgers and Hammerstein and at any minute I was waiting to hear "Surrey with the Fringe on top."
Qpac- Queensland Performing Arts Complex did it very well, with the foyer bar decked out with an amazing tropical swag of fabric and one of the downstairs bars covered in grass fringing.
The sets were amazing especially that of French plantation owner Emile de Becque. It featured the gorgeous arches and lots of shutters and faux tropical plants. The whole time it was making me recall some of these very tropical plantation style images from my various design books.
