Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened
by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in
love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children
was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she
was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe
Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with
whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited
to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that
life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and
conquering her prejudices. Provided by arrangement with Rodgers and Hammerstein.
SOUTH PACIFIC is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: www.rnh.com
