Winner of seven 2008 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical!
This musical is based on James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific, and features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, and a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan. It received the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This new production is directed by Bartlett Sher, who won a Tony Award for his work.
Although well known for its extraordinary score -- the songs include "Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger Than Springtime," "Bali Ha'i," "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame," and "A Wonderful Guy" -- South Pacific is also a deeply felt drama. Its portrayal of Americans stationed in an alien culture in wartime is as relevant today as when it first thrilled audiences in 1949.

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about South Pacific!
This is a show not to be missed! The exquisite baritone of Paulo Szot lends passion to the beautiful music and lyrics of the Rogers and Hammerstein score. He took my breath away when he sang "Some Enchanted Evening" and "This Nearly Was Mine". Kelli OHare is Mary Martin reborn and her voice and acting skills are superb! The entire cast is magical. This is Broadway as it should be, including the beautiful scenery and orchestration. Im going to see it again while it is still here!
