See footage of the 36-strong cast on stage in new footage here.
Aurora’s Paramount Theatre is now presenting with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. Performances of Paramount’s 2025-26 Broadway Series finale run through June 14, 2026.
The story follows World War II armed services personnel through spy missions, war-time drama and romance. While balancing duties to their country with island expectations, U.S. Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and lieutenant Joseph Cable each suddenly find themselves irresistibly falling in love on foreign soil. But will that love translate back in the States?
Think “spectacle” when you think Paramount’s South Pacific. This production features a cast of 36 actors/singers/dancers – one of Paramount’s largest ever – performing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s score played by a 15-piece orchestra, which even includes a harp. The costumes are hand crafted by Paramount artisans, and a tropical scenic design anchored by 20-foot palm trees with elements hewn from a half a mile of bamboo, 18,000-square-feet of netting and 10,000-square-feet of hand-painted muslin.
