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.
