South Pacific

Why see South Pacific?

The Must-See Event of 2022!

Chichester Festival Theatre's critically acclaimed, landmark production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific transfers to Sadler's Wells in 2022 for a strictly limited season. Boasting one of Rodgers & Hammerstein's most memorable scores, this much-loved Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical features songs such as Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair and Bali Ha'i.

This powerful love story, set on a South Pacific island during World War ll, is brought thrillingly to life in an epic new five-star production directed by Chichester Festival Theatre's Artistic Director Daniel Evans (Me and My Girl and Fiddler on the Roof). With a sensational cast of over thirty led by Julian Ovenden (Bridgerton, Downton Abbey, Merrily We Roll Along and Grand Hotel) and Gina Beck (Matilda, Wicked and Les Miserables), and a full orchestra, this ravishing musical is set to be the must-see theatrical event of the year.
