South Pacific

June 20 - July 15, 2012

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific is one of the most enchanting musicals of all time. This all-new production is based on the lavish and breathtaking 2008 Tony Award winning Lincoln Center Theater production. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. Beloved songs include “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “This Nearly Was Mine” and “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame.” Don’t miss this American classic that critics hailed as “Flawless,” “Simply Wonderful” and “Gorgeous!”
