South Pacific (London 1951, Mary Martin) - repro

The legendary original West End premiere production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 'South Pacific' traveled internationally to open to critical adulation at London’s historic Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in late 1951, running for a triumphant 802 performances. Expertly translating the Pulitzer Prize-winning theatrical masterpiece novel *Tales of the South Pacific* onto the British stage, this landmark international company production re-engineered the West End landscape by casting Broadway's original leading lady, Mary Martin, triumphantly reprising her role as Nellie Forbush.
