Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC Hits The Rosemont Theatre This November

Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific, directed by Bartlett Sher, will premiere in Chicago coming in November at the Rosemont Theatre. Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book Tales of the South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific swept the 2008 Tony Awards®, winning seven honors including Best Musical Revival and Best Director for Bartlett Sher.

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 war and by their own prejudices. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score's songs include such classics as "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "Younger Than Springtime," "Bali Ha'i," "There is Nothin' Like A Dame," "This Nearly Was Mine" and "A Wonderful Guy."

Tickets range from $39.50 - $79.50. For more information and for tickets call (800) 745-3000 or visit www.rosemonttheatre.com.
