SOUTH PACIFIC Opens Friday At Music Mountain Theatre

Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, the hit musical based on James Michener's "Tales of the South Pacific", opens Friday at Music Mountain Theatre.

Set against the dramatic background of an idyllic South Pacific island during WWII, Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific intertwines the themes of romance, duty, and prejudice to create a story that is all at once hilarious, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, the musical follows two intercultural love stories.

Starring as Ensign Nellie Forbush and Emile deBecque are Jennifer Gursky (MMT's 42nd Street) and Erik Snyder (MMT's The Producers). Also starring are Jomarie Apelt as Bloody Mary, Eddie Honan as Luther Billis, Dan Drew as Lt. Joseph Cable, Jenn Hsiao as Liat, Han Kim as Bloody Mary's Assistant, and Zoe and Gavin Prikril as Ngana and Jerome.
