Michael Yeargan
South Pacific's Tony Award-winning set designer Michael Yeargan discusses the visual approach taken for the first Broadway revival of this classic musical, including the negotiation behind the dramatic reveal of the show's orchestra, as well as the lessons he learned about working in the vast space of Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre on both South Pacific and The Light In The Piazza. Yeargan also recalls his introduction to theatre and opera as a youth in Dallas; his studies -- and later his teachings -- at the Yale School of Drama; his early Broadway experiences with Terrence McNally's Bad Habits and The Ritz; and his sustained collaborations with directors Andrei Serban, Mark Lamos and Bartlett Sher.
