My Drama class did a production , should have specified lol sorry y'all I wish I had worked with Reba she's awesome. Met her once but that's about as far as it goes.
This musical is amazing. It is one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's crown achievements on the stage. You can tell that the music is well loved by the performers and the musicians in the pit every time the musical is performed anywhere in the world. I love this song.
I thought I'd seen Honey Bun as good as it could be done, but I was wrong. Reba is without peer, her voice powerful, never wavering, never hitting a false note. What a pleasure.
This benefit concert at Carnegie Hall is awesome. I bought the dvd after seeing clips of it on youtube. You'd never know the cast only had 4 days to rehearse it and filming it for the dvd was a last minute decision. South Pacific was never my favorite musical but this performance won me over. Full orchestra, geat actors and the audience is totally into it. They all did a great job but Rebas Nellie is perfection, the critics agree she stole the show.
I love this video! My Dad THE the original Honey Bun, aka Luther Billis, on Broadway in the 50s, doing the "Honey Bun Dance" with Mary Martin. I saw this show countless times throughout my childhood.
My Dad's performance was entirely different than than Alec Baldwin's. My Dad wore no T-shirt, but had a galleon ship painted on his abs every night, which he rolled to simulate a ship upon the ocean. Mostly, there is no better than REBA!!! Rodgers/Hammerstein would have adored her!!
Reba, Mary Martin, and the new Nellie Forbush-Kelli O'hara, are outstanding in the role. They have made fans of broadway and westend musicals proud. That includes this fan of old broadway.
@TheGypsyStarr By "in that play", you mean a production of South Pacific, right? Or do you mean you were in this particular production with Reba McEntire?

In my opinion the greatest Luther billis ever is Dan kennedy. A true genius. So authentic.
