An unforgettable romance set against the sweeping tides of World War II.

Against the backdrop of the Pacific War of WWII, South Pacific blends high-stakes wartime romance with a poignant exploration of social prejudice. When spirited Navy nurse, Nellie Forbush, falls in love with a sophisticated French planter, and a young Marine lieutenant finds himself captivated by an ethereal island girl, their relationships are tested by the prejudices and pressures of a world at war. What unfolds is a deeply moving story about love, courage, and the transformative power of understanding. Featuring a soaring score by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, including classics like “Some Enchanted Evening” and “There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame,” South Pacific remains one of the most beloved musicals of all time.

Winner of the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the original Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto. It is the only musical production ever to have won all four Tony Awards for acting.

“Hawaii is home in the truest sense — not just where I grew up, but the place that shaped how I understand belonging. Playing Bloody Mary has meant something different to me because of that: this is a role born from someone else's imagination of the Pacific, and I've had the chance to bring my own lived connection to that world into it instead. There's a concept in Hawaiian culture, aloha e komo mai — welcome, come in — that speaks to a kind of inclusive belonging I try to carry into every room I'm in, onstage and off. Stepping into this role in 2026 also means stepping into its history: South Pacific premiered in 1949, and revisiting it now is a chance to hold both what the show was reaching for in its moment and what it means to inhabit it with real cultural roots today. This production has felt like a genuine act of reclamation, and I'm grateful to share it with our audiences.”
