| Description |
A musical play in two acts by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan adapted from 'Tales of the South Pacific' by James Michener.
The plot is based on James A. Michener's Pulitzer Prize–winning 1947 book Tales of the South Pacific and combines elements of several of those stories. Rodgers and Hammerstein believed they could write a musical based on Michener's work that would be financially successful and, at the same time, send a strong progressive message on racism.
