When two couples fall in love with each other during a war, history is created and so is South Pacific the musical! Based on a couple of short stories by James A. Michener in his Pulitzer Prize winning book “Tales of the South Pacific”, this musical is so powerful, you can’t ignore it!

Directed by Bartlett Sher and written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan,” South Pacific” is a tale of struggling love. It also speaks of the less spoken topics like racism. The songs like “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Balin Ha’i”, A Wonderful Guy”, and “Younger than Springtime” have spread their message across the world and have become archetypal.

This is one story that will move your mind, body and soul. As you step out of the theatre after watching the show, you’ll be compelled to think about the issues considered in it. “South Pacific” is no ordinary musical. Nor is it a simple love story. It’s a story that brings out the cruel realities of war and also depicts the effects of racism and prejudices.

South Pacific the musical that has created history on Broadway, is not just a stirring story, but is a collective endeavor of the creative team. The sets that make the story look real are designed by Michael Yeargan; the costumes that highlight each character in depth are created by Catherine Zuber; the terrific sounds that makes you feel that war is going on right here is given by Scott Lehrer; and the perfect lights that make each scene come alive are arranged by Donald Holder.  Read more...
