Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC is coming to Broadway Series South in the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center from November 3 to November 8, 2009.

Based on 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, a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan and is directed by 2008 Tony Award®-winner Bartlett Sher.
