Dancap Productions is bringing the Seven-time 2008 Tony Award-Winning Lincoln Center Theater production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific to Toronto August 12th - September 15th 2010. It will be a major part of Dancap Production's inaugural Summer Broadway Series.

South Pacific had a Broadway Revival in 2008 which was critically praised and won many awards, and now the lavish new production hits the road and comes to Toronto. The cast will be led by Jason Howard as Emile de Becque and Carmen Cusack as Nellie Forbush, with Anderson Davis (Lt. Cable), Matthew Saldivar (Luther Billis), Keala Settle (Bloody Mary), Gerry Becker (Capt. Brackett), Peter Rini (Cmdr. Harbison), Sumie Maeda (Liat), Rusty Ross (Professor), Genson Blimline (Stewpot, original 2008 Broadway cast member), Christina Carrera (Ngana) and CJ Palma (Jerome).

The lavish new production, presented by Bob Boyett and NETworks Presentations, features a cast of 34, musical staging by Christopher Gattelli, sets by Michael Yeargan (winner of the 2008 Tony Award®), costumes by Catherine Zuber (winner of the 2008 Tony Award®), lighting by Donald Holder (winner of the 2008 Tony Award®), sound by Scott Lehrer (winner of the 2008 Tony Award®) and music direction by Ted Sperling. A full orchestra of 26 members - the largest orchestra of any touring Broadway production, of which the majority will be local Toronto musicians - will perform the original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett (winner of a Special 2008 Tony Award®) and dance and incidental music arranged by Trude Rittmann.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC is a love story set in an island paradise during World War II, and features such classic songs as Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, There is Nothin' Like a Dame and A Wonderful Guy.
