South Pacific

Returning to the Totem Pole Playhouse stage for the first time in more than 30 years, immerse yourself in the sweeping romance of South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s timeless Broadway masterpiece set on a lush island in the South Pacific during World War II.

At the heart of the story is the unlikely and deeply moving love between Nellie Forbush, an optimistic Navy nurse from Arkansas, and Emile de Becque, a sophisticated French plantation owner. As their romance unfolds against the backdrop of war, cultural differences, and life-changing choices, the musical explores themes of love, prejudice, courage, and hope for a better future.

Featuring some of the most beloved songs ever written for the stage—including “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Bali Ha’i,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” and “Younger Than Springtime”—South Pacific blends unforgettable music with powerful storytelling and sweeping theatrical beauty.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and multiple Tony Awards, this beloved classic remains one of the most powerful and moving musicals ever created.

Experience the romance, drama, and breathtaking music of one of Broadway’s greatest musicals—right here under the pines at Totem Pole Playhouse.
