Rodgers and Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC opened on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre on April 7, 1949, and quickly became one of the most enduring shows in musical theatre. The show features such classic songs as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Wonderful Guy,” “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught,” and “Bali Ha’i.” The original Broadway production won 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and a sweep of all four acting categories, a feat which has not been repeated since. • Learn more about SOUTH PACIFIC: https://www.rnh.com/show/97/South-Pac... • CONNECT WITH RODGERS HAMMERSTEIN : • http://www.rodgersandhammerstein.com • / rodgersandhammerstein • / rnh_legacy • / rodgersandhammerstein • / rodgersandhammerstein • ABOUT RODGERS HAMMERSTEIN • After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards.
