South Pacific |
New York |
The
tremendously popular revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific
has won seven 2008 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical
and Best Leading Actor in a Musical. It reflects
the original acclaim of the 1950's and the countless
awards that included nine Tonys and a Pulitzer.
Many consider South Pacific to be the
finest musical ever written with songs that include
“Nothing like a Dame,” “Some Enchanted
Evening,” “Younger than Springtime,” “Bali Ha’ i,”
and “A Wonderful Guy.” Bartlett Sher
directs the new production with two-time Tony nominee Kelli
O’Hara as Nellie Forbush and acclaimed Brazilian baritone Paulo
Szot in his Broadway debut as Emile De Becque.
