Westchester Broadway Theatre Presents SOUTH PACIFIC

Westchester Broadway Theatre presents South Pacific September 25-November 30, and December 31-January 25.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's award-winning South Pacific is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener. The musical is set on an island paradise during World War II and tells two parallel love stories against the dangers of prejudice and war and the importance of valuing diversity. Its portrayal of Americans stationed in an alien culture in wartime is as relevant today as when it first thrilled audiences in 1949.

The original play won 10 Tony Awards in 1949 and set the stage for a highly successful movie version in 1958 starring Rossano Brazzi, and Mitzi Gaynor. The piece won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1950.The score contains many of the most recognizable songs in Broadway history, including "Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger Than Springtime," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair," "I'm In Love With a Wonderful Guy" and "There Is Nothing Like a Dame."
