The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse is proud to present the Broadway classic, "South Pacific" running through May 8. "South Pacific" is a musical romantic comedy composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan.

It’s Tony Award-winning score is full of some of the most enduring standards in Broadway history, including “There is Nothing Like a Dame”, “Bali Hai”, “I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair”, “Some Enchanted Evening” and “This Nearly Was Mine.”

Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.

Regional favorites Marcus Warren and Bussy Gower star as Emile De Becque and Nellie Forbush.
