SOUTH PACIFIC Music by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan adapted from James A. Michener's Tales of the South Pacific This spectacular musical showed the world that the two creators were moving still further away from the world of musical comedy. Set during the Second World War, we are introduced to a rich mixture of characters, including the irresistible Bloody Mary, the vivacious Nellie and the comical Luther Billis. This show magically brings to life the atmosphere of the South Pacific and the combination of an extremely good story and a wonderful score results in one of the best-loved musicals ever written.
