Music by Richard Rodgers; lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II; book by Mr. Hammerstein
WITH: Kelli O’Hara (Ensign Nellie Forbush), Paulo Szot (Emile de Becque), Matthew Morrison (Lt. Joseph Cable), Danny Burstein (Luther Billis), Loretta Ables Sayre (Bloody Mary), Sean Cullen (Cmdr. William Harbison), Victor Hawks (Stewpot), Luka Kain (Jerome), Li Jun Li (Liat), Laurissa Romain (Ngana), Skipp Sudduth (Capt. George Brackett) and Noah Weisberg (Professor).
A rich sincerity pervades the deep-reaching baritone of Mr. Szot. When he delivers “Some Enchanted Evening” or “This Nearly Was Mine,” it’s not as a swoon-making blockbuster (though of course it is), but as a measured and honest consideration of love.
Though Ezio Pinza is the original Emile, and had portrayed the role so effortlessly. Paulo Szot's warm baritone voice takes the role of Emile deBeque to a new level, and blows all competition away.
love this version and yes Paulo and MS O'HARA are wonderful in main roles!!

for fans of this particular wonderful song, enter Jane Olivor and look for her version. You won't be sorry.

Saw him play Emile last night at the New Theatre, Oxford. Was my first experience of South Pacific. Was very very impressed. He made the performance.

Fantastic performance. I've seen him live (albeit in 1996 or so). Simply perfectly done.
