whats the play south pacific about?

Can a girl from Little Rock find happiness with a mature French planter she got to know one enchanted evening away from the military hospital where she is a nurse? Or should she just wash that man out of her hair? Bloody Mary is the philosopher of the island and it's hard to believe she could be the mother of Liat who has captured the heart of Lt. Joseph Cable USMC. While waiting for action in the war in the South Pacific, sailors and nurses put on a musical comedy show. The war gets closer and the saga of Nellie Forbush and Emile de Becque becomes serious drama.

It is a love story, set in the time of World War Two. It takes place on an island in the South Pacific. The music is really great. The two more well known songs are "Some Enchanted Evening" and "I'm gonna wash that man outa my hair". The original movie starred Enzio Pinza and Mary Martin. I hope that you get a chance to see it.

Don't know never heard of it.

war time love story in the south pacific. we had front row seats in Galveston, Texas about 17 years ago. i'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair really stands out.

It's adapted from the book, "Tales from the South Pacific" by James Mitchner - It's a great read - better than the movie. But then, Mitchner is a great read and most books are better than the movies.
