This multimedia presentation will help you more fully appreciate one of the greatest works of musical theater ever created.
Presenter Barry Bradford, Historian, will discuss this masterpiece by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, which combines a unique and fascinating story of American nurses and GIs on a remote island during World War II. Combine an unforgettable score and powerful lyrics with great costumes, a beautiful set, and fabulous staging--and something amazing evolves right in front of the audience's eye! But South Pacific is more than just a wonderful musical. Like Hamilton, South Pacific is a work of genius that transcends the expectations of musical theater and attempts to influence the political discussion in the country.
