"A Wonderful Guy"

Meet three of the wonderful guys from the new production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s prize-winning musical South Pacific: David Pittsinger and local Orange County boys Christopher Johnstone and Travis Roberston. You can see them all here when South Pacific starts its two-week run tomorrow.

David Pittsinger leads the cast as Emile de Becque - a role he played on Broadway. Click on the video above to hear why David thinks South Pacific is such a timeless story.

In the the video below, Christopher (Thomas Hassinger) and Travis (Tom O'Brien) discuss the things they are looking forward to during their trip back to Orange County.

Kelli O'Hara starts washing that man right out of her hair again

Three-time Tony Award nominee Kelli O'Hara returns to the Tony Award-winning revival of South Pacific at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater tonight.  The actress departed the production March 7 in anticipation of her first child, Owen James, who was born on June 27 to O'Hara and her husband, Greg Naughton. 

O'Hara received critical praise and her third Tony nomination for her performance as Ensign Nellie Forbush in the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic. South Pacific also stars Paulo Szot, who earned a Tony Award for his performance as Emile de Becque in the revival.

Both O'Hara and Szot make their Center debuts in the Samueli Theater Cabaret later this season.  O'Hara appears January 21-24 and Szot comes April 8-11.
