Description
Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Set on a remote island during the Second World War, South Pacific tracks two parallel romances: One between a Navy nurse and a wealthy French plantation owner, the other between a young American officer and a native girl. The songs are among the finest in any American musical: "Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger than Springtime," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair," "This Nearly Was Mine."

This production features the directing debut of Peter Stein at Theatre in the Grove. Peter, who holds a BA in creative writing, has numerous plays to his credit as director, playwright and actor. His understanding of acting and directing brings a freshness and excitement to this production that will create a buzz in the house. The musical talent he has cast will melodically soothe you and blast you out of your seat, all at the same time.

Haylie Swenson (you saw her as Chava in Fiddler on the Roof) plays Nellie. Her high notes might just break glass. Pretty and petite, she is just a delight to watch. David McHarg's touching performance as the romantic lead (Emile de Beque) captivates the young-at-heart of every age. Jacob Mott (Lt. Joseph Cable) returns to Oregon after 2 years at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. We reap the rewards of his training in this handsome young man's melodious voice. Josh Varde-Laguana (the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz) is Seabee Luther Billis. His strong baritone and comedic timing alone will make you want to see this show again. Mark Barrett (who doubles as set designer and master
carpenter) returns for his 16th production at TITG as Captain Brakett.
