South Pacific Musical Is All About Love And War!
South Pacific musical is not what it seems to be. Its neither a complete war story nor a total love story. Its an interwoven tale of two couples who are caught in the web of war wrath and their own prejudices. They are people who want to love and commit, but are held back by their own thoughts that arise out of racism.
The South Pacific Musical Set
Inspired by the terrific work of James A. Michener, South Pacific musical is a depiction of two short stories taken from his book Tales of the South Pacific. The show was first shown in 1949 at the Majestic Theater. It created waves then! At present, the show is running at Vivian Beamont Theater since April 4, 2008. Even today, it is drawing a huge audience. A movie has also been made from this musical. A concert version of this show was held at the Carnegie Hall in 2005.
The lead pair of the current version of South Pacific musical includes Kellie OHara in the role of Nellie, who is a US Navy nurse. She falls in love with Emile de Becque, a plantation owner in the play. The character of Lt. Joe Cable is played by Mathew Morrison. This character falls for a young local Liat. The story is built on the backdrop of World War II.
War affects every aspect of peoples lives. It also affects love. So, when both these couples plan to commit and start a new life with each other, its war that comes in between them. Can the couples overcome the aftereffects of war to commit to each other? How do they deal with racism? These are some questions that will be answered at the Vivian Beamont Theater.
South Pacific musical is no ordinary show. It has won a Pulitzer and four Tony Awards. Besides, there are talented people like Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II behind the production of the show, not to forget the entire creative crew which has left no stone unturned to make this show one of the greatest musicals of Broadway.
Theres even a tour going on for the UK production of this show. The tour started in 2007 from the Blackpool Grand Theater. It will end in July 2008 at the Cardiff New Theater. The star cast of the tour show includes Helena Blackman playing the role of Nellie and Dave Willetts playing the role of Emile. Martin Dodd and Peter Frosdick have produced the show, while Julian Woolford has directed it. Chris Hocking has given wonderful choreography.
South Pacific musical contains songs like Some Enchanted Evening , Bali Hai , and Nothing like a Dame. These songs have the power to stir your senses. They have been created by the equally powerful duo, Rodgers and Hammerstein!
So, get ready to experience war live on stage! No, you wont be injured nor would you cry. Instead, youll be left completely entertained and pondering over how small issues can crop up in human minds and turn into something as serious as war!
