There’s Nothin’ Like a Dame to get the wishful sailors stationed on a South Pacific Isle singin’ and dancin’. Set during World War II, romance blooms in paradise when a feisty Naval nurse named Nellie Forbush falls in love with a French plantation owner with a hidden past and the dashing Marine Lieutenant Joe Cable falls in love with a young native girl. But the dangers of war and prevailing prejudice are storm clouds that threaten a happy ending for these mismatched couples. Adapted from James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of stories, “Tales of the South Pacific,” this musical masterpiece by Rodgers & Hammerstein features songs that are as lush and colorful as its tropical setting, including Some Enchanted Evening, I’m in Love With a Wonderful Guy and I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair.
