Fresh off its best season in years, in which the Mountain Play’s 100th anniversary production of The Sound of Music drew more than 20,000 attendees, the venerable outdoor theater institution heads to South Pacific.

Beginning May 18, the Mountain Play is presenting the Tony Award-winning musical South Pacific, the adaptation of James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel Tales of the South Pacific. 

Directed by Linda Dunn, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific is set in an island paradise during World War II, focusing on a pair of parallel love stories, one between the spunky Ensign Nellie Forbush and local French plantation owner Emile de Becque, and the other between Lieutenant Joseph Cable and a young native woman Liat.
