It's not really my cup of tea, but I don't mind it. I understand that other people may have very different opinions, so I don't voice my dislike of R&H shows too loudly. I like the guys numbers though - "Nothing Like a Dame" and such. Seems like that New York revival of South Pacific should be getting ready to open about now.

I liked the queen. And the music. Especially 'Bali High'.

I didn't like it all that much, I liked Bali High.
Hated Happy Talk.

I like that it dealt with racism in an era when that wasn't talked about very much. I didn't like the fact that the heroine was a racist; I wanted to like her, and didn't after the scene with the children.

I think it's a good representation of the musicals of its time, but it's not one of my favorites.
