ender romance, an
immortal score and enchanted South Sea splendor are set
against the dark backdrop of a world at war in this lush and
passionate musical classic. |
At the heart of South
Pacific is the love story of a naive young Navy nurse and
an older French plantation owner who meet on a U.S.-occupied
South Sea island. A young soldier and a beautiful native girl
also fall in love, while a scheming sailor,
and the native queen of the black market, add
wonderful supporting turns.
 The score is as breathtaking as
the tropical setting- "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bali Ha'i,"
"There is Nothin' Like a Dame," "Younger Than Springtime" and
more.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, South Pacific ranks among
the most celebrated of Rodgers and Hammerstein'sŪ acclaimed
musical masterpieces. |
