We are thrilled to announce CCP’s Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific!!
In an island paradise during the Second World War, two Americans – a wide-eyed nurse and a promising young lieutenant – discover love and confront their own prejudices.
On a South Pacific island during World War II, Ensign Nellie Forbush, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with French planter Emile de Becque.
When Nellie learns that the mother of Emile's children was an island native, she refuses Emile's proposal of marriage, unable to overcome the prejudices with which she was raised.
Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable falls in love with a Tonkinese girl named Liat, but he, too, denies himself a future due to the same fears that haunt Nellie.
When Emile accompanies Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie chooses to embrace a future with Emile and his children, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.
Based on Tales of the South Pacific, James Michener’s collection of short stories, South Pacific opened on Broadway at the the Majestic Theatre on April 7, 1949, starring Mary Martin, Ezio Pinza and Juanita Hall.
South Pacific received the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and for the first time the committee included a composer in the drama prize. The show received ten Tony Awards (including Best Musical), a Grammy Award and countless other accolades.
For years the second-longest running show in Broadway history (right behind Oklahoma!), Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific returned to Broadway in a celebrated 2008 revival starring Kelli O'Hara and Paolo Szot.
The show has proven itself a classic in countless productions around the world. It was adapted onscreen in the 1958 film starring Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor and in a 2001 made-for-television film starring Glenn Close and Harry Connick, Jr.

“Magnificent... as lively, warm, fresh and beautiful as we had all hoped it would be.” – Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times .
“Few Broadway musicals can match the songs of South Pacific for their beguiling tunes and meaningful lyrics. Whether addressing such varied subjects as love at first sight, race prejudice or lost possibilities, they speak a rare yet simple language.” – Los Angeles Times.
“This is the ultimate modern blending of music and popular theatre to date, with the finest kind of balance between story and song, and hilarity and heartbreak.” – William Hawkins, New York World-Telegram.
“The Lincoln Center revival of this old chestnut is surely the most unexpected cultural sensation the city has experienced in a while.” – Frank Rich, The New York Times.
“It's hard to resist the WWII love story and the stirring Rodgers & Hammerstein score.” – Entertainment Weekly.
