5 Spring Mainstage Musical May 16 - June 6, 2020 Spring Concert Event May 30-31, 2020 Music by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics by Oscar ammerstein II. Book by Oscar ammerstein II and Joshua Logan. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Tales of the South Pacific, by James Michener. The director of The unchback of Notre Dame, Dave Leon, returns in 2020 with a Big Band cabaret collection of classic love and war tunes from the 1940s that became staples of The Great American Songbook. When it was released 70 years ago, South Pacific took Broadway by storm, winning 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Against the dramatic background of an idyllic island in the South Pacific during WWII, Rodgers and ammerstein intertwine the themes of romance, duty, and prejudice to create a multi-cultural love story that is hilarious, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking. This Broadway classic, brimming with familiar songs, was the most-requested show in SBMT s 2017 patron survey.
