SOUTH PACIFIC
![south-pacific-the-musical.jpg](../_Files/images/south-pacific-the-musical.jpg)
Set against the dramatic background of an idyllic South Pacific island during WWII, Rodgers and Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC intertwines the themes of romance, duty, and prejudice to create a story that is all at once hilarious, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking. The musical follows two love stories: Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, who falls in love with Emile, a French plantation owner on the island, while at the same time, U.S. Lieutenant Cable falls for a beautiful island native named Liat. Both Americans find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all the while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise. Featuring beautiful music, including the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, Some Enchanted Evening!
