Cast away winter at South Pacific
Our recent record-setting low temperatures will give way to thoughts of palm trees and warm island breezes when Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific opens for a five-show run on February 28 on the Sam J. Frankino Stage of the Pat and Janet O’Brien Center for the Performing Arts.
Set during World War II, South Pacific is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning love story that weaves together the lives of Seabees, nurses, islanders, and military officers as they experience and struggle with acceptance, sacrifice, loss, and love. The show features such popular songs as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” and “Younger Than Springtime.”
The 26-member cast includes junior Katie Malish as Ensign Nellie Forbush, and seniors Alec Plumley as Emile de Becque, Andy Chom as Luther Billis, Jade Shimooka as Bloody Mary, and Cole Prots as Lieutenant Joe Cable.
Tickets, at $10.00 each, should be reserved through our online ticketing system for all
