Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific

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.
