Sarah's Review of South Pacific: Sugar Daddy + 2 good songs

I know I am going to offend the Broadway fanatics on this one.

BUT...do not go see South Pacific thinking that you're going to see a show about Army men and young love affairs. Because as it turns out, the girls are the only young ones in the affairs and the men are way too old for the women their pursing and/or screwing.

Now, I am not a seasoned Broadway goer and I don't think I will ever get there...especially after this experience.

But at least I know how to cast a damn play and not make it about a old man's fantasy land. The whole time the two characters were lusting after one another I wanted to throw up or at least scream, "You could be her father" when the actress and actor keep singing to get other how people tell them they have nothing in common with each other. no shit Sherlock. He is old and you're naive and young. I was on the cusp of yelling, which I think would have gone over really well...don't you. Luckily, I only had one margarita that night and not three. Otherwise, I could have been part of the show. Which thankfully the margaritas cost way too much that night!

Okay I am getting off my soapbox now... to the people who love South Pacific, please turn off your cellphones and enjoy the show...I hear its an amazing production, just ignore my few comments...
