SOUTH PACIFIC Plays The CTG/Ahmanson Theatre

One of Broadway's most endearing musicals, Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific," is presented in Los Angeles with the Lincoln Center Theater's luscious, new, Tony Award-winning (Best Musical, Revival) production. Set on a tropical island during World War II, "South Pacific" tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples - U.S. 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.
