South Pacific On Broadway-Still Going Strong In 2009



Haven't seen South Pacific yet? Treat yourself and someone you care about to tickets to see the revival of South Pacific at New York's Lincoln Center when you get a chance. This show has been selling out since its first preview performance on March 1, 2008.

South Pacific takes place on a tropical island in the Pacific during World War II and tells the love story of a U.S. Navy nurse and a local plantation owner. With classic great music by Rodgers and Hammerstein, South Pacific has won seven Tony Awards for excellence in the theater not to mention in the least, it has one of the most memorable musical scores in the history of Broadway theater.

South Pacific stars Kelli O'Hara as Ensign Nellie Forbush. Ms. O'Hara gained much attention during her leading role playing opposite John Lithgow in Sweet Smell of Success. In addition she has starred in The Light in the Pizza and The Pajama Game, garnering Tony nominations for both shows. The show is beautifully directed by Bartlett Sher with costume design by Catherine Zuber. The book was written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan.

If this sounds like a show you might want to see, you can count on the local Broadway ticket experts at Applause Theater Service in New York City to secure great seats at reasonable prices.
