Yeeech, The SHN email reads:
"Lincoln Center Theater presents a new production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's prize-winning musical classic
Based on James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize winning book Tales of the South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC is set on a tropical island during World War II. The musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples -- US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush & French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable & a young local native girl Liat -- and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices.
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC premiered at the Majestic Theatre on April 7, 1949 and went on to enjoy a five year Broadway run winning countless awards including nine Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score’s songs include such musical theater classics as Some Enchanted Evening, Younger Than Springtime, Bali Ha’i, There is Nothin’ Like A Dame and A Wonderful Guy.
South Pacific replaces the previously announced pre-Broadway engagement of EVER AFTER, which has been indefinitely postponed."

With all the rumors about Ever After being postponed we finally hear something official.
It's great to hear they're bringing in South Pacific instead. I don't evern remember hearing plans to tour the LCT production. Now we just have to wait until September.

I guess there were dangers
and confusions
and the path would often swerve.
There were constant
disillusions
and the producers lost their nerve.
"Artists are always on the vanguard of change: they give the community a vision."
"Desire comes from the Latin "de sire", or "of the father", or "of the stars". We want what is magical, what is out there, what is of the stars. And so our characters should as well."
"If there are people who don't believe in you, don't hang out with them. Wish them well, wish them peace, and move on."

Posted: 1/27/09 at 5:24pmIt'll be interesting to see how SP tours. Though, I also wondered how TLITP would tour and it worked just fine when I saw it in Boston.
ThankstoPhantom

Posted: 1/28/09 at 12:22amWell, this saddens me. Although South Pacific is a great show, I was really looking forward to Ever After. Oh well. Maybe now isn't the right time.
