From: Photo Flash: SOUTH PACIFIC Opens This Enchanted Evening at Theatre Memphis

South Pacific sails onto the Theatre Memphis Lohrey Stage June 2 - 25, 2017. This Pulitzer Prize-winning musical follows a nurse stationed on an island during World War II who is in love with a French expatriate plantation owner. She struggles accepting his mixed-raced children and, along with another romance between a U.S. Lieutenant and a young island native, issues of racial prejudice and gender roles are candidly explored. Filled with memorable songs such as "Some Enchanted Evening", "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outa My Hair" and "Bali Ha'i", to name a few.
