Fountain Hills Theater this week continues the classic war-time musical “South Pacific.”

The musical plays through Sunday, Sept. 20.

From the haunting “Bali Hai” to the exquisite “Some Enchanted Evening,” this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic contains some of the most glorious music ever written.

The winner of 10 TONY Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, “South Pacific” tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples on a remote island in the Pacific – a U.S. Navy nurse and an expatriate French plantation owner, and a Marine Corps lieutenant and a young local girl – and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and their own prejudices.

Helmed by FHT’s Artistic Director Peter J. Hill, and incorporating newsreel footage from WWII, this production of “South Pacific” balances intimate, personal stories with the sweeping grandeur of wartime drama.

“South Pacific” is produced by Patty Torrilhon and Patricia Tonzi and directed by Peter J. Hill. The show is choreographed by Noel Irick and musically directed by Dan Kurek.

The show stars Karissa Anderson-Self, Chris Fidler, Alex Gonzalez, Nicholas Hambruch, Dawn LeSueur, Matt Mcdonald, Hal Morgan, Roger Prenger, Patrick Russo, Chelsea Umeda and Tom Vinopal.

The production also features Katie Barnett, Joshua Buescher, Heidi Carpenter, J.P. Clemente, Ashley Fredricksen, Andrey Lull, Stephani Mcdonald, Kieth and Marna McLendon, Dan Marburger, Brandon Murphy, J. Jay Rangel, Josie Sand and Asher Sheppard.

Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Individual tickets are $33 for adults and $28 for children 17 and under. Seniors receive a $5 discount on all Thursday performances. Group rates and student rush discounts are available.
