This is a chance for audiences who would prefer to watch our work from home or simply aren't able to travel to Chichester this year to watch a stream of our production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific.
All times are in BST and you can start viewing from this time. All streams are available to view for 24 hours.1943. On an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, US troops are kicking their heels amid the cacao groves while restlessly waiting for the war to reach them. Nellie Forbush, a navy nurse from Arkansas, finds herself falling for the French plantation owner, Emile de Becque a man with a mysterious past. The scheming sailor Luther Billis runs a makeshift laundry to earn a quick buck, but hes no match for the quick-witted Polynesian Bloody Mary who's intent on exploiting these foreigners. When young Princeton graduate Lieutenant Joe Cable is flown in on a dangerous reconnaissance mission, love and fear become entwined as the islands battle for hearts and minds begins.
This much-loved, Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical opened in 1949 to huge success, becoming one of Broadways longest running hit shows. It boasts one of Rodgers & Hammersteins most memorable scores, featuring songs such as Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair and Bali Hai.
This new production is directed by Artistic Director Daniel Evans whose previous Chichester productions include This Is My Family, Quiz and Fiddler on the Roof. Making their Chichester debuts are Gina Beck (Matilda, Show Boat, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera) as Nellie, Julian Ovenden (Bridgerton, Downton Abbey, Merrily We Roll Along, Grand Hotel, BBC Proms) as Emile, Joanna Ampil (Cats, Les Misrables, Miss Saigon) as Bloody Mary, and Rob Houchen (Les Misrables, The Light in the Piazza) as Cable. Keir Charles, who played Chris Tarrant in Quiz, returns as Luther Billis.
