The revival of South Pacific is taking NYC by storm and “local girl” Loretta Ables Sayre is leading the charge in the role of Bloody Mary. The Honolulu Advertiser entertainment and theater columnist has filled us in here of her every move, starting with auditions many months ago. He reported this week that she is taking part in a pre-taped Broadway special to air on Saturday. Ables Sayre will be singing Bali Ha’i, the song for which she’ll probably take home a Tony for. Well, according to the Advertiser writer anyway. I realize he's a bit biased.
Here in Hawaii she’s worked the scene for years, in theaters and shows as well as print, radio, and TV ads, you name it. She’s even the voice of my beloved PBS Hawaii. For months her face also greeted me when I paid my cable bill online, as shown above.
So check your local listings and tune in on Saturday for this special. Sounds like an hour well wasted with music and theater!
