South Pacific

Last Saturday I went to see the Musical South Pacific. It was put on by the high school GATE program. This is an Arts program which brings together the Youth from all the high schools on Guam. Over all the musical was entertaining. In general South Pacific is not my favorite musical but it was well done for High school. Some parts - like the part of Bloody Mary was just well done period. However it was a bit weird to see Asian, and Islanders play the parts of the American Soldiers and the French man. There were a few Howlies (The local word for White people :o) in the play but most were in minor roles or the chorus.

Since there is not much in the way of the Arts here on Island - even High School productions draw a pretty decent crowd.

Oh Yes.... Some of you may remember me talking about Betelnut.... for those of you who also remember South Pacific - there is a Song about "Bloody Mary is the girl I love".....there is another line in the song that states that Bloody Mary chews Betelnut.
