What a stunning performance. To have such a large group of guys totally on pitch AND enunciate every word AND sing as a unit totally together AND move and dance so cohesively. A credit to the conductor, choreographer AND the singers that worked to hard and gave their all. WOW.

I was a member of GMCLA ... back in 1980!! It was the year we sang with Bernadette Peters. A Long time ago. This production was good. You boys did a sweet job.

[@vsegda_tragediya]

From a former member of The Chicago Gay Men's Chorus back in the day when we were one of very few choruses incorporating"choralography" to our shows,this was outstanding!

the great thanks to you for this excellent show from your Moscow devoted friend

[@longterm54]

Very good performance gentlemen. The choreography is equal to many Broadway shows. You just keep getting better and better. I miss being in LA and seeing you guys perform. Perhaps on my next trip to California. This brings back so many memories. I'm one of the remaining original 99 members from 1979. Your continued success makes me so proud.

[@williamjones7163]

I was in South Pacific when I was 16 put on by the local studio theater. Lord was I innocent. Now it makes so much more sense.

[@selwyn-lloydmcpherson2814]

Hahaha a fantastic achievement, took it up to 300% -- I love it

[@patriciajohnston9569]

Briilliant arrangement, choreography and performance!

[@r.j.p.8502]

I have watched this song parody at least a 100 times over the years. It never fails to make me laugh, to make me smile. Congratulations, GMCLA, on a fabulous production! May you all stay safe and I hope you can perform together again soon, when it's okay. (Perhaps a Zoom sing-along?) :)

[@paulinedraper980]

Such joyous camp fun!! Love it!

[@franbanks543]

Found you group by accident- YOU ARE FANTASTIC, now on the search for more show tunes 👏🏻🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦👏🏻

[@pygiana16]

This is how these songs were meant to be performed.

[@cliffbacken]

Lol.!!! What..!! Sorry buddy but Rogers and Hammerstein wrote this for guys like me….. Straight.!!!

[@bugpal]

[@johnknottenbelt2727]

Absolutely brilliant 🎉

[@guynorth3277]

This is terrific, such full rich voices!

[@williamjones7163]

I was in the Play South Pacific. Although I feel this was the version I was born to be in, this was not the version that was presented in 1978 in Billings, Montana. Still it was a great experience, fun as hell, and I still believe "Some Enchanted Evening".

[@yuvanesh2156]

Outstanding performance bravo guys.

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

Surprisingly good. Very professional performances.

[@tomskipton7908]

[@nicholasonyeka3555]

If these wonderful performance and voices are used for the praise of God, heavens will surely erupt with joy

[@garycosta6878]

Who says they weren’t praising god with this music? It’s not you to question what and who is praising your god.

[@jtube8806]

This is adorable. I wish my life was a song/musical! ^__^

[@tomdeininger7379]

I wish my life was a song, guess that's an impossibility.

[@joewright6455]

I was in our high school production of South Pacific. I loved your performance.

[@sprucelynch7091]

They are great!

[@davidcallahan2832]

A loving tribute to the American musical institution that was Rogers & Hammerstein, which tosses in a few choice ironies for fun, starting with the pregnant pause after "What ain't we got . .?" It puts me in mind of a hidden chapter in WWII history about what soldiers privately did to cope with gender segregation as well as the main moral lesson that "South Pacific" aimed to teach its audiences about love and prejudice.

[@josephdalessandrojr.5695]

Very funny and very professional production! Loved it!

[@hugecashfan]

Love it.God bless you all

I love this choir!!

[@GMCLAvideo]

CHORUS! (A choir locks their knees and holds the music. A chorus, from the ancient Greek, memorizes the music, then puts on a show!)

[@gordygibson4558]

Great fun - something most gays seem to have forgotten.
