"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."
