Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Michael Halling, Leah Berry and More in Costume for SOUTH PACIFIC at STAGES
One of the most powerful musicals of all time, South Pacific triumphantly returns to STAGES for the first time in 25 years. Running September 8th through October 8th at the Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood, South Pacific will close STAGES' 31st Season with a timeless tale of love and loss. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast in costume!
Broadway Actor Michael Halling stars in the production as Emile de Becque. St. Louis Actress Leah Berry returns to STAGES staring as Ensign Nellie Forbush. Broadway Actor Matthew Hydzik makes his STAGES debut staring as Lt. Joseph Cable. New York Actor Mark DiConzo also stars in the production as Luther Billis. New York Actress Joanne Javien stars as Bloody Mary.
The creative team for the production includes: Michael Hamilton (Direction), Ellen Isom (Choreography), Lisa Campbell Albert (Musical Direction), James Wolk (Scenic Design), Garth Dunbar (Costume Design), Sean M. Savoie (Lighting Design), Stuart M. Elmore (Orchestral Design).
Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book, Tales of the South Pacific, by James Michener, this critically acclaimed musical adaptation proved to be an immediate Broadway success for Rodgers and Hammerstein in 1949. A true classic for the ages, South Pacific overflows with some of the finest music ever written for the American stage, spinning a dangerously romantic tale while also candidly exploring themes of racism, tolerance, and inclusion. Following the struggles faced by young American soldiers and nurses stationed on a tropical naval base during the Second World War, STAGES' patrons will be moved by a breathtaking tale blooming with passion and romance and a spectacularly unrivaled score.
