Singers.com - Songbooks and choral arrangements from the Musical: South Pacific

On April 7, 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South
Pacific
opened at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway in New
York City. The romantic musical about World War II, which
touches on controversial racial themes, goes on to run for
almost five years, becoming one of the most popular musicals
of the 1950s.

The show won 10 Tony Awards, and six decades later, its
Lincoln Center revival would earn another seven, making
it the most Tony Award-winning show in New York theater
history.
