Paulo Szot and Taylor Louderman to Star in Muny South Pacific

Taylor Louderman and Paulo Szot will star in the Muny production of South Pacific, running July 6-12 under the direction of William Carlos Angulo.

Louderman (Mean Girls) will play Ensign Nellie Forbush. At the Muny in St. Louis, she’s been seen in Chess (Svetlana Sergievskaya), Aida (Amneris), Grease (Sandy), Hairspray (Amber), and Kinky Boots (Lauren).

Szot returns to the role of Emile de Becque, for which he earned Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards in the 2008 Lincoln Center Theater Broadway revival. He made his Muny debut last summer in Evita.

South Pacific has a score by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan.

Full casting will be announced at a later date.
