Saw this original production. That freaking score...it's utterly astounding.

I envy every cast member of any production of Pacific Overtures. I alsways wished to play a part in a Sondheim show, and now I do - Hero from Forum, but although Hero is a major charaker in Forum, I'd prefer to play the young boy in PO.

Is that Mako?

I saw this twice in Boston tryouts and once in its Broadway run. One of the most stunning and beautiful things I've ever seen in a theater -- or anywhere else. Perfection. Shows like this and productions so magnificent have spoiled me.

Someone tell him to get back to his piano!

artistry so loud it hurts my ears.
Mr. Sondheim is a true genius.

This video brings back wonderful memories. It was at the Wintergarden Theatre as I recall. A wonderful musical and this is a great song!

6:20. *loses breath*
What is it that makes this song so beautiful and perfect?
Someone in a TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Everything about this song is just perfect. The final chord is breathtaking, and right as the music starts, the bassoon just blares out. You can't really hear the bassoon well on the OBC. Just gorgeous.
Musical theatre at its absolute finest here.

Having read sondheim's biography by Meryle Secrest i knew this was his favorite song one that he was extremely proud of and one whose performance once even brought him to tears. I knew the song was good, and i loved the tune, but I never understood why he was so particularly proud of this one work until i saw this video and realized what an amazing puzzle this song is. For a man who so loved games and puzzles seeing these multiple parts so intricately performed must have been extemely satisfying
