Rodger & Hammerstein's South Pacific at Flat Rock Playhouse

Flat Rock Playhouse continues the 2019 Season with summer blockbuster musical and Broadway classic, South Pacific. Known for its glorious score by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the show transports audiences to the Pacific Islands in World War II as young couples struggle with the dynamics of love, war, and faith. Yet, South Pacific also showcases a vibrant, delightful comedic side found in the business of everyday life: raising children, relationship squabbles, and workplace gossip.Running June 7th - July 6th, South Pacific will deliver the best of the beloved Broadway classic - picturesque settings, deeply moving plot lines, an impeccable score - as well as a refreshing, modern interpretation that will speak to audiences of all ages. Says Producing Artistic Director, Lisa K. Bryant, "South Pacific came back in the top 5 of our most recent patron survey and was the number one Rogers and Hammerstein pick. It is a classic story with some of the most lush music in the Music Theatre cannon and we were all very excited to honor the patron's wishes. Additionally, it fell perfectly into our 2019 theme of Love, Family, and Adventure. Family comes in all shapes and forms. The adventures of not only war but also the young characters expanding their own realities as they leave their homes for the first time and meet and work alongside brand new acquaintances, in totally foreign locations. And of course, love. For which, you need to see the show to see how that theme unfolds. It was a big hit when we produced it 20 years ago, and we know we can tell the story even better today."
