Set against the dramatic backdrop of World War II this classic musical follows the lives of civilian and US military personnel on a small island in the South Pacific. Derived from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Tales of the South Pacific by James Michener, the play is the ultimate expression of the triumph of love over the hate of racism and is a dramatic allegory of the world’s own triumph in World War II; the forces of freedom and democracy defeating the forces of hatred, fascism and domination throughout the globe.
Love, indeed, conquers all, and in the beautiful, and often haunting, music and stories of Rodgers and Hammerstein the audience will get swept up in that feeling and find itself on its “own special island” in the exotic and sublime South Pacific.
The Artistic Director of this play is Jenny Sawyer, Musical Director is Philip Shute and Set Designer is Cleo Pettitt.
A complimentary reception will follow the opening night performance on October 10th sponsored by Bermuda Premium Spirits Ltd. There will be a Pre-Theatre Dinner where one can enjoy a three course South Pacific inspired meal before the show at Victoria Grill for only $35.
