South Pacific

2008 Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Musical!

Kelli O'Hara stars in the first Broadway revival of this classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific is set on a tropical island in the Pacific during World War II, where US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush falls in love with local plantation owner Emile De Becque. Meanwhile, Lt. Joe Cable has fallen in love with young Liat, daughter of the irrepressible Bloody Mary. Both couples' happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices. Also on the island are dozens of locals and Navy, all of whom seem to break into glorious song and dance at just the right moments.

Bartlett Sher directs this revival, the first time South Pacific has been seen on Broadway since its premiere in 1949. The original production garnered extraordinary acclaim and countless awards including nine Tonys and a Pulitzer Prize. The revival includes such classic songs as "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bali Ha'i," "A Wonderful Guy," and "Nothing Like a Dame."
