South Pacific at Tennessee Performing Arts Center

"Simply Wonderful! Beguiling Theatrical Magic!" hails the New York Post for Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific. This breathtaking new production of South Pacific is based on the 2008 Tony Award winning Lincoln Center Theater production, directed by Barlett Sher. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. The beloved score's songs include "Some Enchanted Evening,""I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,""This Nearly Was Mine" and "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame." USA Today cheers, "Gorgeous! South Pacific doesn't just float, it soars!"
