SOUTH PACIFIC Comes to the Van Wezel, 4/3 & 4
The new production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical SOUTH PACIFIC, based on the 2008 Tony Award® winning Lincoln Center Theater production directed by Bartlett Sher, plays the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Tues. April 3 & Wed. April 4 at 8 PM. Derived from James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book Tales of the South Pacific, 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 war and by their own prejudices." 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."
Ticket prices range from $30-$75. For more information and to buy tickets, contact the Van Wezel Box office at (941)953-3368 or log onto www.vanwezel.org. Sponsored by Wilde Lexus of Sarasota and ABC 7
