“There is nothing like a Dame,” especially on an enchanted Pacific Island. Rodgers and Hammerstein created the adorable Nellie Forbush, who falls for the planter Emile DeBecque, only to have their love tested by her intolerant upbringing. A young lieutenant is captivated by a native woman and both he and Nellie have to unlearn the racial prejudice they were taught in order to find happiness. One of the most beloved musicals of all time, South Pacific captures “island magic” in a memorable score that will have you feeling “Younger Than Springtime.”
