Auditions for Rodgers & Hammerstein’s "South Pacific". Looking for cast. See more info below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Set during World War II on a remote island in the South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific tells a sweeping story of love, war, and confronting prejudice. Ensign Nellie Forbush, a spirited U.S. Navy nurse from Arkansas, falls for the sophisticated French plantation owner, Emile de Becque. However, when she learns about his past and mixed-race children, her ingrained biases threaten their future together. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Joseph Cable arrives on the island for a secret military mission and falls in love with Liat, the beautiful daughter of the shrewd islander Bloody Mary. But Cable, too, struggles with the prejudices of his upbringing, leading to heartbreaking consequences. As war looms closer, the characters must make difficult choices about love, acceptance, and sacrifice. Featuring unforgettable songs like “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Bali Ha’i,” and “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught,” South Pacific is a powerful and poignant musical that continues to resonate today.
