Winner of FOUR Outer Critics Circle Awards 2008 including
Outstanding Revival of a Musical
"this “South Pacific” recreates the unabashed, unquestioning romance that American theatergoers had with the American book musical in the mid-20th century...Yet the show feels too vital to be a museum piece, too sensually fluid to be square."
Ben Brantley, New York Times
Lincoln Center Theater presents
the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, which
is returning to the New York scene in its first-ever
Broadway revival.
South Pacific concerns the lives
of U.S. military men, nurses and the residents
of the Polynesian island they occupy during World
War II. Nurse Nellie Forbush is "In Love
With a Wonderful Guy," a French planter with
small children.
Clean-cut Lt. Cable has fallen hard
for Bloody Mary's daughter Liat. And the seabees,
sailors and marines will tell you that there is
"Nothing Like a Dame." The show's gorgeous
score also includes "Cockeyed Optimist,"
"I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My
Hair," "Some Enchanted Evening,"
"Younger Than Springtime," "Honey
Bun" and "This Nearly Was Mine."
