Musical
Set on a tropical island during World War II, South Pacific tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples — US 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.
Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score’s songs include such musical theatre classics as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “This Nearly Was Mine’,” and “There is Nothin’ Like A Dame.”
