Why watch Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific?
- The musical features a sensational cast with the Broadway star Julian Ovenden and the notable artist Gina Beck as the main lead.
- The critically acclaimed production has been a great success at Chichester Festival Theatre, where it had a sold-out run.
- Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most remarkable scores form the core of the musical.
- The musical has won the Tony and the Pulitzer prize and is a perfect choice for anyone who appreciates a powerful love story set during wartime.
Ever since its opening in 1949, this Chichester production has been winning hearts with its beautiful and heartwarming portrayal of a powerful love story set amidst a war. After its successful performances so far, this longest-running Broadway musical is making its way to the West End’s Sadler’s Well Theatre, this summer.
Directed by the phenomenal Daniel Evans, the musical features the celebrated West End stars Julian Ovenden and Gina Beck as Emile de Becque and Ensign Nellie Forbush respectively. Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s memorable score along with sensational tunes including Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair, and Bali Ha'i, makes this musical a timeless classic and a beautiful experience.
The five-star production with a cast of over thirty and an insanely creative team has Peter McKintosh heading set and costume design, Cat Beveridge as the musical director, Howard Harrison for lighting design, Charlotte Sutton CDG as the casting director, and Gillian Tan as the video designer. For the musical, the new orchestration is by David Cullen, with the original Broadway orchestration by Robert Russell and the Happy Talk orchestration is by Theo Jamieson.
Storyline
Set on the South Pacific Island during World War II, the musical portrays the powerful love story of a navy nurse from Arkansas - Nellie Forbush, who falls for French plantation owner Emil De Beque with a mysterious past.

I thought the two male and one female leads were great and their voices amazing. Loved the scenery and set change. Thought Bloody Mary had a lovely voice, but just wasn't strong enough. Also Luther Billis wasn't comedic enough, especially in honey bun. And can you ask the male chorus to be not quite so light on their feet, they need butching up! Emily de Becque's voice was spellbinding. Wish someone would kiss me the way he kissed Nellie!

- It was far too hot in the theatre which made it a little unconfortable - The show wasn't as 'good' as others we've seen recently (wasn't bad at all), just different strokes for different folks
