General Information :: Principals :: Other Cast :: Production Staff :: Crew :: Multimedia

South Pacific was first produced on the New York stage in 1949 and reached London in 1951. A very young Larry Hagman played one of the sailors, while his mother, Mary Martin, was the leading lady. Set on an island in the South Pacific towards the end of World War Two, the story centres around the love of the exiled French planter??????? Emile de Becque for Ensign Nellie Forbush. Emile's attempts to escape from his mysterious past are foiled by the arrival of Lt. Joseph Cable who catches the eye of Bloody Mary as a possible husband for the beautiful Liat. The entrepreneurial Sgt. Luther Billis runs several illicit businesses under the noses of the island C.O. Captain Brackett and his sidekick Commander Harbison. As the company's Thanksgiving Concert reaches its climax, it would appear that the war is reaching a crucial stage.
