BWW Video Show Preview: South Pacific
By: BroadwayWorld TV
The acclaimed Broadway revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC features a 30 piece orchestra conducted by musical director Ted Sperling performing the original 1949 orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and dance and incidental music arranged by Trude Rittmann. Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples -- US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat -- and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices.
Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC opened at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Thursday, April 3 and was recently nominated for 8 Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical Revival and 8 Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Musical Revival.
Tickets to Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC are available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office (150 W. 65 Street), at tele-charge.com or by visiting www. SouthPacificMusical.com.
