South Pacific

Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II; Book by Oscar Hammerstein II, Joshua Logan. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning novel “Tales of the South Pacific” by James A. Michener

With a score as lush as the island paradise in which the story unfolds, two parallel love stories emerge, both threatened by the dangers of

prejudice and war. The war is WWII, and the island is in the Pacific theatre: the characters - and songs - are timeless. “Some Enchanted

Evening”, “Bali Ha’i”, “There Is Nothing Like a Dame” among others in this classic.

  • A favorite of every generation for 60 years.
