On April 7, 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South
Pacific opened at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway in New

touches on controversial racial themes, went on to run for
almost five years, becoming one of the most popular musicals
of the 1950s.

Lincoln Center revival would earn another seven, making
it the most Tony Award-winning show in New York theater
history.
