Bucks County Playhouse will present Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific" from June 18 through July 26 in New Hope.
Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic musical "South Pacific" is coming to Bucks County Playhouse this summer for a six-week run in New Hope.
The show will run June 18 through July 26 and star Ryan Silverman and Alexandra Socha in the leading roles.
Set on a Pacific island during World War II, "South Pacific" tells the story of two romances while exploring prejudice and acceptance. The musical includes well-known songs such as "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame."
The musical also has strong ties to Bucks County. Oscar Hammerstein II wrote "South Pacific" while living in nearby Doylestown, and the show is based on a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author James A. Michener, who was born in Doylestown.
The show is directed and choreographed by Denis Jones, a two-time Tony Award nominee.
Tickets start at $44 and are available online. A limited number of pay-what-you-can tickets will be available for preview performances on June 18 and June 19. An ASL-interpreted performance is scheduled for July 12.
