NODA North West Report

 
Opening on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre on 7th April 1949, South Pacific became one of the best loved and most successful and fruitful collaborations between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The Libretto, by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan, was based on stories in James Michener's book "Tales of the South Pacific". The story is set in World War II and deals in part with racism, a subject not exactly common place in American musical comedies.
