John Jacob Loeb and Carmen Lombardo’s 'Paradise Island' received a spectacular, grand-scale outdoor world premiere debut staging at the massive Jones Beach Marine Theatre in the summer of 1961 under the management templates of Guy Lombardo. Expanding a sun-drenched Hawaiian resort narrative across the open lagoon water stage, the high-stepping performance utilized real floating vessels, simulated volcanic eruptions, and synchronized hula dance routines to enchant thousands of New York family theatergoers.
