After originally premiering on Broadway in 1949, South Pacific was arguably one of the greatest musicals of the twentieth century. The original production won ten Tony Awards, and had audiences raving.

In 2008 the musical was revived, and audiences loved it just as much. The revival was a hit, which is proved by the amazing night it had at the Tony Awards two years ago. South Pacific was nominated for eleven Tony awards and took home the awards for seven including Best Direction of a Musical, Best Sound Design of a Musical, and Best Revival of a Musical. Two years later the musical is still a hit.

The musical is set during World War Two on a little island in the South Pacific. U.S. sailors who are preparing to make an attack against the Japanese Empire are occupying the island. The story follows a couple whose romance is threatened by the dangers of  war and their own prejudices.  South Pacific will take to you back in time where you will see if Nellie and Emile can overcome their prejudices, and not let the war tear them apart.

This Rodgers and Hammerstein musical revival is a one of a kind show. The musical runs every Tuesday-Sunday at the Beaumont Theatre in New York City.

Walking With Dinosaurs was a bit of a suprise for me but with our strong NY Tri State Area presence and the Dinosaurs coming to the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ… I guess it shouldn’t come as a shock! In fact, I think I might want to go see them… looks pretty cool!
