South Pacific Overview

Directed by Bartlett Sher

This breathtaking and lavish Lincoln Center Theater production reinvented Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical. It swept the 2008 Tony Awards, played for two years to sold-out houses on Broadway and was televised across America. This smash hit musical has now enchanted UK audiences, receiving huge critical acclaim and sold out houses at London’s Barbican, before embarking on a record breaking sold out UK tour.

With a cast and a live orchestra of 50, this international landmark production, brought to you by the producers of West Side Story and Guys and Dolls comes to the Palace Theatre for 1 week only.

Metropolitan Opera Director and Winner of Tony Award for Best Director, Bartlett Sher, directs a stellar cast which includes British musical theatre stars Rebecca Thornhill, Matthew Cammelle, Alex Ferns and Daniel Koek. Considered one of the finest musicals ever written, the score includes Some Enchanted Evening, I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair and There is Nothin’ Like a Dame.

Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to witness one of the greatest musicals of all time, as the critics agree:

‘This is a show you will remember forever.’
