In 1949, musician Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein (“Oklahoma,” “Carousel,” The King and I,” “Cinderella,” “The Sound of Music”) wrote a telling and timely stage adaptation of two short stories from acclaimed author James A. Michener’s 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning book “Tales of the South Pacific,” and won a 1950 Pulitzer Prize for drama (along with 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical). Now, 50 years later, South Pacific delights audiences once more and garners for itself seven Tony Awards (nominated for 10), including Best Revival.

South Pacific Tickets Information
In fact, this latest incarnation of South Pacific made history as the first and only musical production to garner all four Tony Awards for Best Acting. It also won five Drama Desk Awards.

Originally opening in 1949 at the Majestic Theatre before relocating in 1953 to the Broadway Theatre, South Pacific is considered by many to be Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatest work and one of theatrical history’s greatest musicals.

Set during World War II on a tropical island in the… well, south pacific (of course), the musical relates the challenges of love during wartime and pre-civil rights. Racial prejudice plays big in South Pacific, making the tale as timely today as it was then. But as serious as some of the plays themes may be, there’s no tension a big musical number can’t break, and “South Pacific” is full of them.

From Nothing Like a Dame to Bali Ha’I to Some Enchanted Evening to A Wonderful Guy, South Pacific contains some of musical history’s most classic songs, familiar to many who may not even be aware of the play from which these beloved numbers came.

People who have only seen the 1958 film have but an inkling of the spectacular adventure they have to witness in the live stage version of South Pacific. After two acclaimed productions of the musical in London’s West End – one from 1951-1953, and one in 2001 at the Royal National Theatre – an abridged and abbreviated version of the show (still containing all of the songs and the full score) appeared in 2005 at New York’s Carnegie Hall with Reba McEntire and Alec Baldwin as two of the main leads.

The 2008 Broadway revival of South Pacific was directed by Bartlett Sher (“Awake and Sing!,” “The Light in the Piazza”) and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli (“Sunday in the Park with George,” “High Fidelity,” “Hair,” “Chess,” “Cats”).

Starring Kelli O’Hara (“A Light in the Piazza,” “The Pajama Game”) and Paulo Szot (the Metropolitan Opera, “Carmen,” “Figaro”), along with Loretta Ables Sayre, Matthew Morrison, and Danny Burstein, the foot-tapping, gut-busting, floorboard-and-rafter-shaking, soul-stirring revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s masterpiece hit Broadway’s Vivian Beaumont Theatre on April 3, 2008, and has tickets selling through at least the end of March, 2009 (if not thereafter).
