Review: SOUTH PACIFIC at Fulton Theatre


by Rich Mehrenberg - April 28, 2024

I don’t think that South Pacific or even the shows of Rogers and Hammerstein are especially dated or irrelevant.  A few years back, Fulton put on The Sound of Music to great appreciation and acclaim.  I wish they were able to capture some of that magic this time around....
