Photo Flash: First Look at SOUTH PACIFIC at Seattle Musical Theatre
Seattle Musical Theatre concludes its 38th season with SOUTH PACIFIC.

Considered one of the finest musicals ever written, Rodgers and Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC is set in an island paradise during World War II and tells the sweeping saga of two parallel love stories that are threatened by the realities of war and prejudice. The songs, deeply ingrained in American culture, include the romantic "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," the spirited "There is Nothing Like a Dame" and the reflective "This Nearly Was Mine." Directed and choreographed by Phil Lacey. Music Direction by Brandon Peck.
