South Pacific at Carpenter Performing Arts Center

With its hothouse emotions and lush melodies, this Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning musical has melted the hearts of audiences for over 60 years. At once a romantic musical and a deeply felt drama, Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific tells the story of Americans stationed in an unfamiliar culture in wartime, a situation as relevant today as when it first thrilled audiences in 1949. In this Musical Theatre West production, timeless themes such as love, prejudice, happiness and cultural differences are tackled with the help of an immortal score that's filled with all-time favorites like "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "Bali Ha'i."
