South Pacific, the groundbreaking musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, is celebrated for its social progressivity and theatrical innovation when it premiered in 1949. The musical is adapted from James A. Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, Tales of the South Pacific, which draws on his real-life experiences as a Lieutenant Commander with the U.S. Navy in Vanuatu. South Pacific explores themes of love and racial prejudice against the backdrop of World War II, delivering a powerful message through unforgettable music and storytelling.​​​​
