South Pacific

Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples – U.S. Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat -- and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. Can love overcome all or will these star-crossed lovers be consumed by life’s realities?

The musical is 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.

Ted Richart as Emile de Becque
Lea McCormick as Nellie Forbush
Adam Huff as Lt. Joe Cable
Annie Cantos as Liat
