South Pacific is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Tales of the
South Pacific by James A. Michener with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by
Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan.  Se=
t
in an island paradise during World War II, South Pacific is a tale of two
parallel love stories that are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and
war.  Nellie Forbush (Joan Ellison), a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in
love with Emile de Becque (Tom Fulton), a mature French plantation owner.
Meanwhile, a strapping Lt. Joseph Cable (Colin Cook) is torn over his
feelings of love for an innocent Tonkinese girl, Liat (Kristy Chen).

The score is as breathtaking as the tropical setting =8B =B3Some Enchanted
Evening,=B2 =B3Bali Ha=B9i,=B2 =B3There is Nothin=B9 Like a Dame,=B2 =B3Younger Than
Springtime,=B2 "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "I'm in Love wit=
