South Pacific at Lake Worth Playhouse


From their web siet:  Rodgers and Hammerstein-- This epic musical romance centers on a group of American sailors and Navy nurses stationed in the South Pacific during World War II. Arkansas native Nellie Forbush befriends and quickly falls for Emile de Becque, a French expatriate and plantation owner, and Lt. Joe Cable finds himself in a passionate affair with Liat, the young daughter of Bloody Mary, the local grass-skirt peddler. As the war against Japan escalates, reality sets in for both Forbush and Cable, who struggle to reconcile their unconventional love affairs with their long-held prejudices and insecurities.

Folks, please get to our Playhouse and see this magnificent show.  The entire cast was superb but the lead playing Emile, Michael Cartwright, has a powerful voice and should be on Broadway. The cast got a standing ovation.  But we're truly lucky to have him here in Lake Worth. And we are indeed lucky to have such a great playhouse giving us professional performances each and every month that is located in downtown Lake Worth.
