When I saw the revival of South Pacific on Broadway in 2008, an elderly lady sat next to me. She wanted to talk. I was concerned. Glad I listened. She was in the original production of South Pacific, and wonderful comments about Richard Rodgers and Mary Martin. And she loved the revival.
What seemed like an awkward situation was very interesting. Unsure of the spelling of her lsst name, so have to guess. Perhaps Her name: Bernice Sanders
