Tonight is the opening performance of Musical Theater Southwest's production of "South Pacific" at the Hiland Theater.
Today's "Albuquerque Journal" feature (in Venue) highlights the musical's theme of racial intolerance.
Fair enough. But after weeks of rehearsal, I am also impressed by Rodgers and Hammerstein's depiction of romance, decency and kindness.
All that in the middle of World War II.
Old-fashioned? You bet.
