SUMMARY
Back by popular demand, the Lincoln Center Theater's smash hit production of Rodgers & Hammersteins South Pacific returns to the Sydney Opera House in 2013.
Directed by Bartlett Sher, this ground-breaking production swept the 2008 Tony Awards® and played to sold-out houses on Broadway and the West End for two and a half years. In 2012, it premiered in Sydney to popular and critical acclaim.
Relive the romance as the 34-piece orchestra plays showstoppers like 'Some Enchanted Evening', 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair', 'Bali Ha’i' and 'There is Nothin’ Like a Dame'.
