The Pulitzer Prize winning South Pacific from the award winning team of Rodgers and Hammerstein, is an exemplary addition to the Music Theatre Hour series. Utilising the original orchestrations and performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, under the highly acclaimed conductor John Owen Edwards, and once again presented as a digital surround recording, which took place at the world famous Abbey Road studios. The leads are sung by international opera star Justino Diaz and Broadway star Paige O’Hara, supported by Shezwae Powell and Sean McDermott. A cast and recording that The Sunday Times were to say ‘has the excitement and immediacy of a Shaftesbury Avenue first night.   Recommended for anyone…”.

Another runaway success both on Broadway and in the West End, South Pacific told the stories of American GI’s stationed in foreign climes and the relationships that they were to develop with the local girls and their communities. Containing over 60 minutes of classic show tunes, including “A Cockeyed Optimist”, “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Bloody Mary”, “There Is Nothing Like A Dame”, “Bali Ha’i”, “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair”, “A Wonderful Guy”, “Younger Than Springtime”, “Happy Talk”, “Honey Bun”, “This Nearly Was Mine”, it is truly a classic addition to the MTH collection.
