Matthew Morrison to Join O'Hara and Szot in Lincoln Center Theater's South Pacific



Mmmmm, he's gonna look cute in a sailor costume.

Lincoln Center Theater has announced that Matthew Morrison will star alongside Kelli O'Hara and Paulo Szot in their revival of South Pacific this Spring. Morrison, who previously appeared at LCT opposite O'Hara in The Light in the Piazza, will play the role of Lt. Joe Cable. Danny Burstein (The Drowsy Chaperone) will play Luther Billis in the first-ever Broadway revival of the show, while newcomer Loretta Able Sayres will take on the showy role of Bloody Mary.

Morrison was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in Piazza. He also originated the role of Link Larkin in Hairspray, and earlier this year appeared in the Patty Griffin musical 10 Million Miles at the Atlantic Theater Company.

Happy talk, indeed!
