South Pacific

Running for one more weekend at The Green Room in Newton, NC is the musical South Pacific. Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Richard Rodgers.


Summary
This musical takes place during World War II on an island in, where else, the South Pacific ocean. In the story, there are a set of parallel love stories that are entangled in prejudice, and the war. I hate that I can't go into more detail otherwise I'll give things away, but you'll just have to see for yourself what has been called one of the greatest musicals in history.

History
The story is based off the 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning novel Tales of the South Pacific by James A. Michener.

There have been MANY productions of this show including a recent revival in 2008 on Broadway that received five desk drama awards.

Not only did it have it's run on Broadway, but it also toured in the US twice, the UK, was performed at Carnegie Hall and produced in London at the West End.
