Lincoln Center Theatre Revival.
Label-Information:
This much-anticipated Lincoln Center Theater production of this treasured American musical directed by Bartlett Sher will have its Official Opening at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65th Street) on Thursday, April 3. Previews began March 1. Produced by David Caddick and David Lai, the CD will be recorded on Monday, April 14 at New York's Legacy Recording Studios (509 West 38th Street).
Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning book Tales of the South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples -- US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat -- and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices.
