South Pacific is not the easiest show to stage - both in terms of atmosphere (tropical) and storyline (with issues such as racial prejudice and doomed love to handle) - but our talented team were more than up to the task! With real palm trees brought in to transform the Pegasus Theatre into a balmy idyll and an impressive 19-piece band performing live on stage, the production was praised for its 'ambition and talent'.

Read on to learn more about the development of the show from those who knew it best - the South Pacific ​company!
