South Pacific at Rosemont Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...in Bartlett Sher’s transcendently restorative revival of this magnificent piece of theatrical art, you won’t miss what actor Gerry Becker does with this moment. It might not seem like much — a slight pause in the middle of the line, a slight catch in the throat — but it makes an ocean of difference because it makes you see a captain who is thankful for his men, which makes you thankful for the service of others, which makes you understand that the American story you are watching is, well, a story of timeless emotional truths. "

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...David Pittsinger's lustrous bass baritone is so mesmerizing it nearly takes your breath away. And you will surely fall head over heels in love with Carmen Cusack's "little hick" Nellie Forbush. The commanding Keala Settle makes Bloody Mary into something of a Tonkinese Mother Courage, while Matthew Saldivar nicely underplays the comical wheeler dealer seabee Luther Billis. Everything about Director Bartlett Sher's production speaks luxury, and those Chicagoans lucky enough to squeeze it into their busy holiday schedule are no doubt in for a musical and dramatic treat."
