Some Enchanted Evening, There Is Nothing Like A Dame, I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right OutOf My Hair, Bali H’ai, Honey Bun, Younger Than Springtime, I’m in Love With A Wonderful Guy… every song in South Pacific is a classic, written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein - the duo behind The Sound of Music, The King And I,Oklahoma! and Carousel.
It’s World War Two and the US Navy has stationed a base on a South Pacific island. Young nurse Nellie Forbush falls in love with middle-aged plantation owner Emile de Becque. While their romance faces prejudice, secrets and a dangerous military mission, there’s plenty of comedy as the sailors seek female company on the mysterious island of Bali H’ai…
