MANHATTAN — The McCain Performance Series opens its spring season with one of the most beloved musicals ever, Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific," at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, in McCain Auditorium at Kansas State University.
Love transcends the harsh realities of war and prejudice in this sweeping Pulitzer Prize-winning tale centered around two unlikely love affairs. Set on a tropical island during World War II, this timeless story features classic songs woven into an inspiring story cherished the world over.
Winner of 10 Tony Awards, the beloved score's songs include "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "There is Nothin' Like a Dame" amidst big Broadway performances and a chorus of American sailors and Navy nurses ready to take you to Bali Ha'i.
