Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific

An unforgettable romance set against the sweeping tides of World War II.

Against the backdrop of the Pacific War of WWII, South Pacific blends high-stakes wartime romance with a poignant exploration of social prejudice. When spirited Navy nurse, Nellie Forbush, falls in love with a sophisticated French planter, and a young Marine lieutenant finds himself captivated by an ethereal island girl, their relationships are tested by the prejudices and pressures of a world at war. What unfolds is a deeply moving story about love, courage, and the transformative power of understanding. Featuring a soaring score by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, including classics like “Some Enchanted Evening” and “There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame,” South Pacific remains one of the most beloved musicals of all time.

Winner of the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the original Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto. It is the only musical production ever to have won all four Tony Awards for acting.
