South Pacific
There is nothing you can name that is anything like...
Directed by Joshua Logan
Produced by Magna Theatre Corporation, South Pacific Enterprises
A lush, romantic musical set against the backdrop of World War II that balances theatrical charm with genuine emotional stakes around love and prejudice.
Can a girl from Little Rock find happiness with a mature French planter she got to know one enchanted evening away from the military hospital where she is a nurse? Or should she just wash that man out of her hair? Bloody Mary is the philosopher of the island and it's hard to believe she could be the mother of Liat who has captured the heart of Lt. Joseph Cable USMC. While waiting for action in the war in the South Pacific, sailors and nurses put on a musical comedy show. The war gets closer and the saga of Nellie Forbush and Emile de Becque becomes serious drama.
