HAPPY TGIF, everyone! :)
The original Broadway productions of SOUTH PACIFIC and GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES share TWO things in common.
Please tell us what they are.
GOOD Luck, Everybody!!!

joeyjoe, YOU HAVE WON!
Congratulations!!!
Yes, SOUTH PACIFIC and GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES both opened in 1949 and BOTH leading ladies (SP's Nellie Forbush, GPB's Lorelei Lee), both hailed from Little Rock, Arkansas.
You are becoming a REGULAR winner, joeyjoe!
Now for your bonus points: Please name the song in which each character states that their hometown is Little Rock.

The suspense is KILLING me, so here goes:
"My Girl Back Home" from SOUTH PACIFIC:
[Joe Cable]
My girl back home
I'd almost forgot
The blue-eyed kid
I liked her a lot
We got engaged
Both families were glad
And I was told by my uncle and dad
That if I was clever and able
They'd make me part of a partnership
Cable, Cable and Cable
How far away
Philadelphia, PA
Princeton, NJ
How far are they?
From coconut palms and banyan trees
Coral sands and Tonganese
[Nellie Forbush]
How far away
LITTLE ROCK, ARK
Princeton, NJ
How far are they?
From coconut palms and banyan tress
Coral sands and Tonganese
