‘South Pacific’ is awash in Tonys, but not for Sayre
NEW YORK » Broadway's lavish production of "South Pacific" picked up seven prizes - more than any other show - at the Tony Awards last night.
Those awards didn't include a Tony for Hawaii's Loretta Ables Sayre, who was nominated as featured actress in a musical for her role as Bloody Mary. That prize - equivalent to a supporting actress award - went instead to Laura Benanti for "Gypsy."
"South Pacific" was named best musical revival, and leading man Paulo Szot won the trophy for best actor in a musical. The play also collected four design awards: sets, costumes, lighting and sound.
Director Bartlett Sher noted the work of the show's creators, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, original director Joshua Logan and James Michener, who wrote the novel. "They were kind of incredible men, because they seem to teach me particularly that in a way I wasn't only an artist, but I was also a citizen."
