Set in a tropical paradise with warm sea breezes, breathless sunsets and B52 Bombers. South Pacific is an uplifting musical tale that follows World War II Armed Services personnel, Ensign Nellie Forbush and Lt. Joseph Cable through spy missions, war-time drama and romance. Balancing duties to their country with their island expectations, they each find themselves irresistibly falling in love on foreign soil. But will that love translate back in the States?

South Pacific is an iconic, complex and important piece of musical theater reminding us all of the importance of celebrating cultural differences and the value of people unlike ourselves. Featuring some of Broadway’s most memorable showtunes from Rodgers and Hammerstein including: “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair” and of course… “Bali Ha’i.”
