Thank you, Marj, for the information regarding the people who played
in "South Pacific" in Liverpool. The only name I ever retained from
the show was Mary Martin (real-life mother of J.R.Ewing), but I
think she played in the show when it was performed in London.
I wrote to Mary Martin at the time, and received a photograph,
which meant a lot to a starstruck teenager. The show lasted a long
time, and Miss Martin must have 'washed that man right out of her
hair' thousands of times.

was Helen Landis, who was from either Australia or New Zealand. The
Frenchman was played by someone called Neville (can't remember the second
name) and he was also from down under.

Arts Centre, when she sang Bali H'ai - I had sent her a card and received a
charming reply from her, remembering her visit to Liverpool.
