BWW Exclusive: Watch Carmen Cusack, Jose Llana, Morgan James & More Sing SOUTH PACIFIC for 70th Anniversary!

Broadway Dreams and The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization just celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize Award-winning musical triumph, South Pacific with a gala concert at The St. Regis New York (2 E 55th Street). The event also served as a fundraiser for Broadway Dreams, a not-for-profit performing arts training organization with global reach.

As previously announced, the evening included remarks from Pulitzer Prize-winning immigrant rights activist Jose Antonio Vargas, author of Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen, reinterpretations of the classic score from GLAAD Media Award winner Alex Newell (Once On This Island, "Glee"); Tony Award nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega (Miss You Like Hell, Rent); recording artist Morgan James (The White Album, Morgan James Live: The Songs of Nina Simone); opera sensation Karim Sulayman (Songs of Orpheus, "I Trust You"); Jose Llana (The King and I, Here Lies Love); and Tony Award nominee Carmen Cusack (Bright Star), who starred to critical acclaim in the national tour Lincoln Center Theater production of South Pacific.

As part of a promotional partnership between Broadway Dreams and Broadway's new musical comedy The Prom, the evening also featured a performance by Isabelle McCalla (The Prom, Aladdin), who made history opposite costar Caitlin Kinnunen at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Award-winning composer Steven Jamail (BeBe Winans' Born for This) served as musical director.
