A stunning reinvention produced by Lincoln Center Theater, South Pacific swept the 2008 Tony Awards®, winning seven honors including Best Musical Revival and Best Director for Bartlett Sher. The breathtaking new production features a cast of 34 and a full orchestra of 26 members – the largest orchestra of any touring Broadway production.

Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. The beloved score’s songs include "Some Enchanted Evening,” "I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair," “This Nearly Was Mine,” and "There is Nothin’ Like a Dame."

Introduce your students to company members from this acclaimed show. Our guests will discuss their careers, education and the realities of working on a touring show. Your students will have the opportunity to interact with our guests and ask their own questions as well.

Guests will include: Cast members, a stage manager and the conductor from the touring production
