DESCRIPTION

WINNER! SEVEN 2008 TONY AWARDS® INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL


Sail away to the bright BLUE waters of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC. A stunning reinvention produced by Lincoln Center Theater, SOUTH PACIFIC swept the 2008 Tony Awards®, winning seven honors including Best Musical Revival and Best Director for Intiman Theatre’s Bartlett Sher. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices.

Featuring "There is Nothing Like a Dame," "I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "This Nearly Was Mine" and "Some Enchanted Evening."

User-Submitted Reviews

Queen Anne/Magnolia News Review by Myke Folger Thursday, February 25, 2010 It\'s not heavy handed, and while you may hum the songs on your way out of the theatre, it\'s that message that you think about. (read article) Talkin' Broadway Review by David-Edward Hughes Friday, February 12, 2010 It proves that a revival can be the freshest show in town. (read article) City Arts Magazine Review by Tim Appelo Friday, February 12, 2010 Bart Sher\'s South Pacific is the real thing, a can\'t-miss masterpiece. (read article) HeraldNet Review by Theresa Goffredo Friday, February 12, 2010 If you see any show at The 5th Avenue this year, make it “South Pacific.” (read article) Seattle Gay News Review by Milton W. Hamilton Friday, February 12, 2010 This new staging is virtually flawless. (read article) Seattle Weekly Review by Kevin Phinney Thursday, February 4, 2010 Many fans of the musical consider this the pinnacle of the form. If that\'s so, then this South Pacific may well be the pride of the fleet. (read article) The Stranger Review by Brendan Kiley Thursday, February 4, 2010 (Director, Bartlett) Sher found exactly what South Pacific wants to be and gave it wings. For big Broadway shows, it doesn\'t get much better. (read article) West Seattle Weisenheimer Review by Weisenheimer Thursday, February 4, 2010 Perhaps it\'s unfair to note that the show didn\'t live up to its hype. No show could. (read article) Seattle Theater Examiner Review by Rosemary Jones Thursday, February 4, 2010 It\'s this type of subtle sophistication and intelligent interpretation that Seattle audiences have had ten years to appreciate at Intiman. (read article) SeattleActor.com Review by Jerry Kraft Thursday, February 4, 2010 Tis was as good a production of this great musical as I\'m likely to see for quite some time. (read article) Seattle Fine Arts Examiner Review by Audrey Gervasi Thursday, February 4, 2010 So much is wonderful about this virtually flawless production that it is hard to know where to begin. (read article) The SunBreak Review by Seth Kolloen Thursday, February 4, 2010 By night\'s end, we knew the answer. This Rodgers & Hammerstein so-called classic about love in World War II hasn\'t aged well. (read article) Broadway Hour Seattle Review by Andrew J. Perez Thursday, February 4, 2010 It takes a very alert and trust-worthy director to bring this show to life for a modern audience and Sher does not disappoint. (read article) Seattle P-I Blog Review by John Levesque Thursday, February 4, 2010 \"South Pacific\" still rocks. (read article) Seattle Times Review by Misha Berson Thursday, February 4, 2010 Like the vibrant restoration of a faded tinted postcard, depicting a locale that\'s exotic yet familiar. (read article) Broadwayworld.com Review by Jay Irwin Thursday, February 4, 2010 It\'s good but not great. (read article)
