The landmark musical's first-ever Broadway revival! The curtain rang down on Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific in 1954 after five years of extraordinary acclaim and countless awards including nine Tonys and a Pulitzer. Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book Tales of the South Pacific, the musical is set on a tropical island during World War II and tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples - U.S. Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Marine Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat - and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score's songs include such musical theater classics as "Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger Than Springtime," "Bali Ha'i," "There is Nothin' Like a Dame" and "A Wonderful Guy."

Great souvenir of an unforgettable production.

I thought that I knew this show but I underestimated its impact at the Vivien Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center. There is a real live grand 40+ piece orchestra in the pit that makes the overture take your breadth away and from there it only gets better. The principles are superb and they deserve every award this show has won. Thanks to CD technology, you get a recording of just about all the score with even some incidental and scene change music. I no longer feel like I was cheated to never have heard Mary Martin on stage. Also the production is dedicated to the brave men and women of the South Pacific during WWII. My DA was in Okinawa; so I was very moved!

This was a present for my brother who is a theater buff.....He loves the music and likes this compilation more than the original. I order all my music from amazon.....your service is excellent!

enjoyable

My Dad and I saw South Pacific over the summer and he couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed the show. I bought him this CD so he could reminisce about the show - and reminisce he has. He has listened to the CD nonstop since he received it. While a CD recording could never compare to the live production, I think it's a great memento to have.

Great version

Saw the show in New York recently--the CD is a wonderful reminder and the quality of the recordings is excellent. If you like the songs from South Pacific you will love this CD.
