The work premiered in 1949 on <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a> and was an immediate hit, running for 1,925 performances. The plot is based on <a href="/wiki/James_A._Michener" title="James A. Michener">James A. Michener</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Fiction" title="Pulitzer Prize for Fiction">Pulitzer Prize–winning</a> 1947 book <a href="/wiki/Tales_of_the_South_Pacific" title="Tales of the South Pacific">Tales of the South Pacific</a> and combines elements of several of those stories. <a href="/wiki/Rodgers_and_Hammerstein" title="Rodgers and Hammerstein">Rodgers and Hammerstein</a> 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. The plot centers on an American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II, who falls in love with a middle-aged expatriate French plantation owner but struggles to accept his mixed-race children. A secondary romance, between a <a href="/wiki/U.S._Marine" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Marine">U.S. Marine</a> lieutenant and a young <a href="/wiki/Tonkin" title="Tonkin">Tonkinese</a> woman, explores his fears of the social consequences should he marry his Asian sweetheart. The issue of racial prejudice is candidly explored throughout the musical, most controversially in the lieutenant's song, "<a href="/wiki/You%27ve_Got_to_Be_Carefully_Taught" title="You've Got to Be Carefully Taught">You've Got to Be Carefully Taught</a>". Supporting characters, including a comic <a href="/wiki/Petty_officer#United_States" title="Petty officer">petty officer</a> and the Tonkinese girl's mother, help to tie the stories together. Because he lacked military knowledge, Hammerstein had difficulty writing that part of the script. The director of the original production, Logan, assisted him and received credit as co-writer of the book. The original Broadway production enjoyed immense critical and box-office success, became <a href="/wiki/List_of_the_longest-running_Broadway_shows" title="List of the longest-running Broadway shows">the second-longest running Broadway musical</a> to that point (behind Rodgers and Hammerstein's earlier <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma!" title="Oklahoma!">Oklahoma!</a> (1943)), and has remained popular ever since. After they signed <a href="/wiki/Ezio_Pinza" title="Ezio Pinza">Ezio Pinza</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mary_Martin" title="Mary Martin">Mary Martin</a> as the leads, Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote several of the songs with the particular talents of their stars in mind. The piece won the <a href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Drama" title="Pulitzer Prize for Drama">Pulitzer Prize for Drama</a> in 1950. Especially in the Southern U.S., its racial theme provoked controversy, for which its authors were unapologetic. Several of its songs, including "<a href="/wiki/Bali_Ha%27i" title="Bali Ha'i">Bali Ha'i</a>", "<a href="/wiki/I%27m_Gonna_Wash_That_Man_Right_Outa_My_Hair" title="I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair">I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Some_Enchanted_Evening" title="Some Enchanted Evening">Some Enchanted Evening</a>", "<a href="/wiki/There_Is_Nothing_Like_a_Dame" title="There Is Nothing Like a Dame">There Is Nothing Like a Dame</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Happy_Talk_(song)" title="Happy Talk (song)">Happy Talk</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Younger_Than_Springtime" class="mw-redirect" title="Younger Than Springtime">Younger Than Springtime</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/I%27m_in_Love_with_a_Wonderful_Guy" title="I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy">I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy</a>", have become popular standards. The production won ten <a href="/wiki/Tony_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Tony Award">Tony Awards</a>, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Libretto, and it is the only musical production to win Tony Awards in all four acting categories. Its original cast album was the bestselling record of the 1940s, and other recordings of the show have also been popular. The show has enjoyed many successful revivals and tours, spawning a <a href="/wiki/South_Pacific_(1958_film)" title="South Pacific (1958 film)">1958 film</a> and television adaptations. The 2008 Broadway revival, a critical success, ran for 996 performances and won seven Tonys, including Best Musical Revival. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Tales_of_the_South_Pacific" title="Tales of the South Pacific">Tales of the South Pacific</a></div> Although book editor and university instructor <a href="/wiki/James_Michener" class="mw-redirect" title="James Michener">James Michener</a> could have avoided military service in World War II as a birthright <a href="/wiki/Quaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Quaker">Quaker</a>, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in October 1942. He was not sent to <a href="/wiki/Asiatic-Pacific_Theater" class="mw-redirect" title="Asiatic-Pacific Theater">the South Pacific theater</a> until April 1944, when he was assigned to write a history of the Navy in the Pacific and was allowed to travel widely. He survived a plane crash in <a href="/wiki/New_Caledonia" title="New Caledonia">New Caledonia</a>; the near-death experience motivated him to write fiction, and he began listening to the stories told by soldiers. One journey took him to the <a href="/wiki/Treasury_Islands" title="Treasury Islands">Treasury Islands</a>, where he discovered an unpleasant village, called Bali-ha'i, populated by "scrawny residents and only one pig".<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> Struck by the name, Michener wrote it down and soon began to record, on a battered typewriter, his version of the tales.<a href="#cite_note-L39-2">[2]</a> On a plantation on the island of <a href="/wiki/Espiritu_Santo" title="Espiritu Santo">Espiritu Santo</a>, he met a woman named Bloody Mary; she was small, almost toothless, her face stained with red <a href="/wiki/Betel_nut" class="mw-redirect" title="Betel nut">betel juice</a>. Punctuated with profanity learned from <a href="/wiki/G.I._(military)" class="mw-redirect" title="G.I. (military)">GIs</a>, she complained endlessly to Michener about the French colonial government, which refused to allow her and other <a href="/wiki/Tonkin" title="Tonkin">Tonkinese</a> to return to their native Vietnam, lest the plantations be depopulated. She told him also of her plans to oppose colonialism in <a href="/wiki/French_Indochina" title="French Indochina">French Indochina</a>.<a href="#cite_note-3">[n 1]</a> These stories, collected into <a href="/wiki/Tales_of_the_South_Pacific" title="Tales of the South Pacific">Tales of the South Pacific</a>, won Michener the <a href="/wiki/1948_Pulitzer_Prize" title="1948 Pulitzer Prize">1948 Pulitzer Prize</a> for fiction.<a href="#cite_note-L39-2">[2]</a> Tales of the South Pacific comprises nineteen stories. Each stands independently but revolves around the preparation for an American military operation to dislodge the Japanese from a nearby island. This operation, dubbed Alligator, occurs in the penultimate story, "The Landing at Kuralei". Many of the characters die in that battle, and the last story is titled "A Cemetery at Huga Point". The stories are thematically linked in pairs: the first and final stories are reflective, the second and eighteenth involve battle, the third and seventeenth involve preparation for battle, and so on. The tenth story, at the center, is not paired with any other. This story, "Fo' Dolla' ", was one of only four of his many works that Michener later admitted to holding in high regard. It was the one that attracted <a href="/wiki/Rodgers_and_Hammerstein" title="Rodgers and Hammerstein">Rodgers and Hammerstein</a>'s attention for its potential to be converted into a stage work.<a href="#cite_note-4">[3]</a> "Fo' Dolla' ", set in part on the island of Bali-ha'i, focuses on the romance between a young Tonkinese woman, Liat, and one of the Americans, Marine Lieutenant Joe Cable, a <a href="/wiki/Princeton_University" title="Princeton University">Princeton</a> graduate and scion of a wealthy <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Main_Line" title="Philadelphia Main Line">Philadelphia Main Line</a> family. Pressed to marry Liat by her mother, Bloody Mary, Cable reluctantly declines, realizing that the Asian girl would never be accepted by his family or Philadelphia society. He leaves for battle (where he will die) as Bloody Mary proceeds with her backup plan, to affiance Liat to a wealthy French planter on the islands. Cable struggles, during the story, with his own racism: he is able to overcome it sufficiently to love Liat, but not enough to take her home.<a href="#cite_note-5">[4]</a> Another source of the musical is the eighth story, "Our Heroine", which is thematically paired with the 12th, "A Boar's Tooth", as both involve American encounters with local cultures. "Our Heroine" tells of the romance between Navy nurse Nellie Forbush, from rural Arkansas, and a wealthy, sophisticated planter, Frenchman Emile De Becque.<a href="#cite_note-6">[n 2]</a> After falling in love with Emile, Nellie (who is introduced briefly in story No. 4, "An Officer and a Gentleman") learns that Emile has eight daughters, out of wedlock, with several local women. Michener tells us that "any person ... who was not white or yellow was a nigger" to Nellie, and while she is willing to accept two of the children (of French-Asian descent) who remain in Emile's household, she is taken aback by the other two girls who live there, evidence that the planter had cohabited with a darker Polynesian woman. To her great relief, she learns that this woman is dead, but Nellie endangers her relationship with Emile when she is initially unable to accept Emile's "nigger children".<a href="#cite_note-7">[5]</a> Nellie overcomes her feelings and returns to spend her life with her plantation owner.<a href="#cite_note-8">[6]</a> Additional elements of South Pacific had their genesis in others of Michener's 19 tales. One introduces the character of Bloody Mary; another tells of a British spy hidden on the Japanese-controlled island who relays information about Japanese movements to <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allied forces</a> by radio. Michener based the spy, dubbed "the Remittance Man", on Captain <a href="/wiki/Martin_Clemens" title="Martin Clemens">Martin Clemens</a>, a Scot, who unlike his fictional counterpart, survived the war. The stories also tell of the seemingly endless waiting that precedes battle, and the efforts of the Americans to repel boredom, which would inspire the song "<a href="/wiki/There_Is_Nothing_Like_a_Dame" title="There Is Nothing Like a Dame">There Is Nothing Like a Dame</a>".<a href="#cite_note-9">[7]</a> Several of the stories involve the <a href="/wiki/Seabee" title="Seabee">Seabee</a>, Luther Billis, who in the musical would be used both for comic relief and to tie together episodes involving otherwise unconnected characters.<a href="#cite_note-10">[8]</a> A 2001 article in Islands Magazine states that Michener renamed <a href="/wiki/Ambae_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Ambae Island">Aoba Island</a> Bali-ha'i. The author interviewed the proprietor of a resort on <a href="/wiki/Espiritu_Santo" title="Espiritu Santo">Espiritu Santo</a>, who claimed that Emile was modeled on his father and that the "real Bloody Mary" lived on Espiritu Santo for many years after the war and lived to the age of 102.<a href="#cite_note-11">[9]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Creation">Creation</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Creation">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Inception">Inception</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Inception">edit</a>]</div> In the early 1940s, composer <a href="/wiki/Richard_Rodgers" title="Richard Rodgers">Richard Rodgers</a> and lyricist <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II" title="Oscar Hammerstein II">Oscar Hammerstein II</a>, each a longtime Broadway veteran, joined forces and began their collaboration by writing two musicals that became massive hits, <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma!" title="Oklahoma!">Oklahoma!</a> (1943) and <a href="/wiki/Carousel_(musical)" title="Carousel (musical)">Carousel</a> (1945).<a href="#cite_note-12">[10]</a> An innovation for its time in integrating song, dialogue and dance, Oklahoma! would serve as "the model for Broadway shows for decades".<a href="#cite_note-13">[11]</a> In 1999, <a href="/wiki/Time_(magazine)" title="Time (magazine)">Time</a> magazine named Carousel the best musical of the century, writing that Rodgers and Hammerstein "set the standards for the 20th-century musical".<a href="#cite_note-14">[12]</a> Their next effort, <a href="/wiki/Allegro_(musical)" title="Allegro (musical)">Allegro</a> (1947), was a comparative disappointment, running for less than a year, although it turned a small profit.<a href="#cite_note-15">[13]</a> After this, the two were determined to achieve another hit.<a href="#cite_note-N173-16">[14]</a> According to director <a href="/wiki/Joshua_Logan" title="Joshua Logan">Joshua Logan</a>, a friend of both theatre men, he and <a href="/wiki/Leland_Hayward" title="Leland Hayward">Leland Hayward</a> mentioned Michener's best-selling book to Rodgers as a possible basis for the duo's next play,<a href="#cite_note-Lovensheimer_46-17">[15]</a> but the composer took no action. Logan recalled that he then pointed it out to Hammerstein, who read Michener's book and spoke to Rodgers; the two agreed to do the project so long as they had majority control, to which Hayward grudgingly agreed.<a href="#cite_note-18">[16]</a> Michener, in his 1992 memoirs, however, wrote that the stories were first pitched as a movie concept to <a href="/wiki/MGM" class="mw-redirect" title="MGM">MGM</a> by <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_MacKenna" title="Kenneth MacKenna">Kenneth MacKenna</a>, head of the studio's literary department. MacKenna's half brother was <a href="/wiki/Jo_Mielziner" title="Jo Mielziner">Jo Mielziner</a>, who had designed the sets for Carousel and Allegro. Michener states that Mielziner learned of the work from MacKenna and brought it to the attention of Hammerstein and Rodgers, pledging to create the sets if they took on the project.<a href="#cite_note-19">[17]</a> Hayward attempted to buy the rights from Michener outright, offering $500; Michener declined. Although playwright <a href="/wiki/Lynn_Riggs" title="Lynn Riggs">Lynn Riggs</a> had received 1.5% of the box office grosses for the right to adapt <a href="/wiki/Green_Grow_the_Lilacs_(play)" title="Green Grow the Lilacs (play)">Green Grow the Lilacs</a> into Oklahoma!, Michener never regretted accepting one percent of the gross receipts from South Pacific. As Rodgers and Hammerstein began their work on the adaptation, Michener worked mostly with the lyricist, but Rodgers was concerned about the implications of the setting, fearing that he would have to include ukuleles and guitars, which he disliked. Michener assured him that the only instrument he had ever heard the natives play was an emptied barrel of gasoline, drummed upon with clubs.<a href="#cite_note-20">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Composition">Composition</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Composition">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:R_and_H.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Two men in business suits sit in theatre seats amiably discussing what they are watching" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/R_and_H.jpg/220px-R_and_H.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="209" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/R_and_H.jpg/330px-R_and_H.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/R_and_H.jpg/440px-R_and_H.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3531" data-file-height="3349" /></a><figcaption>Rodgers (left) and Hammerstein</figcaption></figure> Soon after their purchase of the rights, Rodgers and Hammerstein decided not to include a ballet, as in their earlier works, feeling that the realism of the setting would not support one. Concerned that an adaptation too focused on "Fo' Dolla' ", the story of the encounter between Cable and Liat, would be too similar to <a href="/wiki/Madama_Butterfly" title="Madama Butterfly">Madama Butterfly</a>, Hammerstein spent months studying the other stories and focused his attention on "Our Heroine", the tale of the romance between Nellie and Emile. The team decided to include both romances in the musical play. It was conventional at the time that if one love story in a musical was serious, the other would be more comedic, but in this case both were serious and focused on racial prejudice. They decided to increase the role played by Luther Billis in the stories, merging experiences and elements of several other characters into him. Billis's wheeling and dealing would provide comic relief.<a href="#cite_note-21">[19]</a> They also shortened the title to South Pacific – Rodgers related that the producers tired of people making risqué puns on the word "tales".<a href="#cite_note-22">[20]</a> In early drafts of the musical, Hammerstein gave significant parts to two characters who eventually came to have only minor roles, Bill Harbison and Dinah Culbert. Harbison is one of the major characters in Tales of the South Pacific; a model officer at the start, he gradually degenerates to the point where, with battle imminent, he requests his influential father-in-law to procure for him a transfer to a post in the United States. Hammerstein conceived of him as a rival to Emile for Nellie's affections, and gave him a song, "The Bright Young Executive of Today". As redrafts focused the play on the two couples, Harbison became less essential, and he was relegated to a small role as the executive officer to the commander of the island, Captain Brackett. Dinah, a nurse and friend of Nellie, is also a major character in Michener's work, and was seen as a possible love interest for Billis, though any actual romance was limited by Navy regulations forbidding fraternization between officers (all American nurses in World War II were commissioned officers) and enlisted men. "<a href="/wiki/I%27m_Gonna_Wash_That_Man_Right_Outa_My_Hair" title="I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair">I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair</a>" originated as a duet for Dinah and Nellie, with Dinah beginning the song and developing its theme.<a href="#cite_note-23">[21]</a> According to Lovensheimer, Nellie's and Dinah's "friendship became increasingly incidental to the plot as the writing continued. Hammerstein eventually realized that the decision to wash Emile out of her hair had to be Nellie's. Only then did the scene have the dramatic potential for Nellie's emotional transition" as she realizes her love for Emile. In the final version, Dinah retains one solo line in the song.<a href="#cite_note-24">[22]</a> Joshua Logan, in his memoirs, stated that after months of effort in the first half of 1948, Hammerstein had written only the first scene, an outline, and some lyrics. Hammerstein was having trouble due to lack of knowledge of the military, a matter with which Logan, a veteran of the armed forces, was able to help. The dialogue was written in consultation between the two of them, and eventually Logan asked to be credited for his work. Rodgers and Hammerstein decided that while Logan would receive co-writing credit on the book, he would receive no author's royalties. Logan stated that a contract putting these changes into force was sent over to his lawyer with instructions that unless it was signed within two hours, Logan need not show up for rehearsals as director.<a href="#cite_note-25">[23]</a> Logan signed, although his lawyer did not then tell him about the ultimatum.<a href="#cite_note-H179-26">[24]</a> Through the decades that followed, Logan brought the matter up from time to time, demanding compensation, but when he included his version of the events in his 1976 memoirs, it was disputed by Rodgers (Hammerstein had died in 1960).<a href="#cite_note-H179-26">[24]</a> Rodgers biographer Meryle Secrest suggests that Logan was compensated when <a href="/wiki/South_Pacific_(1958_film)" title="South Pacific (1958 film)">South Pacific was filmed in 1958</a>, as Logan received a substantial share of the profits as director.<a href="#cite_note-27">[n 3]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[25]</a> According to Michener biographer Stephen J. May, "it is difficult to assess just how much of the final book Josh Logan was responsible for. Some estimates say 30 to 40 percent. But that percentage is not as critical perhaps as his knowledge of military lore and directing for the theatre, without which the creation of South Pacific would have collapsed during that summer of 1948."<a href="#cite_note-29">[26]</a> Rodgers composed the music once he received the lyrics from Hammerstein. A number of stories are told of the speed with which he wrote the music for South Pacific 's numbers. "<a href="/wiki/Happy_Talk_(song)" title="Happy Talk (song)">Happy Talk</a>" was said to have been composed in about twenty minutes; when Hammerstein, who had sent the lyrics by messenger, called to check whether Rodgers had received them, his partner informed him that he had both lyrics and music. Legend has it he composed "<a href="/wiki/Bali_Ha%27i" title="Bali Ha'i">Bali Ha'i</a>" in ten minutes over coffee in Logan's apartment; what he did create in that time frame was the three-note motif which begins both song and musical. Hammerstein's lyrics for "Bali Ha'i" were inspired by the stage backdrop which designer <a href="/wiki/Jo_Mielziner" title="Jo Mielziner">Jo Mielziner</a> had painted. Feeling that the island of Bali Ha'i did not appear mysterious enough, Mielziner painted some mist near the summit of its volcano. When Hammerstein saw this he immediately thought of the lyric, "my head sticking up from a low-flying cloud" and the rest of the song followed easily from that.<a href="#cite_note-30">[27]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting_and_out-of-town_previews">Casting and out-of-town previews</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Casting and out-of-town previews">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Publicity portrait of a man in his mid-fifties with curly hair (Pinza)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg/170px-Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg/255px-Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Ezio_Pinza_SP.jpg 2x" data-file-width="288" data-file-height="339" /></a><figcaption>Ezio Pinza</figcaption></figure> In May 1948, Rodgers received a telephone call from <a href="/wiki/Edwin_Lester" title="Edwin Lester">Edwin Lester</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Civic_Light_Opera" title="Los Angeles Civic Light Opera">Los Angeles Civic Light Opera</a>.

Pinza had become bored as the Met's leading lyric <a href="/wiki/Bass_(voice_type)" title="Bass (voice type)">bass</a>, and having played the great opera houses, sought other worlds to conquer.

This allowed the musical to continue without interruption by scene changes, making the action almost seamless. He soon had the Seabees pacing back and forth like caged animals during "There Is Nothing Like a Dame", a staging so effective it was never changed during the run of the show.<a href="#cite_note-N186-48">[45]</a> One Logan innovation that Rodgers and Hammerstein reluctantly accepted was to have Cable remove his shirt during the blackout after he and Liat passionately embrace on first meeting, his partial nakedness symbolizing their lovemaking.<a href="#cite_note-M121-49">[46]</a> As originally planned, Martin was supposed to conclude "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" with an exuberant cartwheel across the stage. This was eliminated after she vaulted into the orchestra pit, knocking out Rittman.<a href="#cite_note-50">[47]</a> There were no major difficulties during the four weeks of rehearsal in New York; Martin later remembered that the "gypsy run-through" for friends and professional associates on a bare stage was met with some of the most enthusiastic applause she could remember. One of the few people having trouble was Pinza, who had difficulty adjusting to the constant alterations in the show – he was used to the operatic world, where a role rarely changed once learned. Pinza's mispronunciations of English exasperated Logan, and driving to <a href="/wiki/New_Haven,_Connecticut" title="New Haven, Connecticut">New Haven, Connecticut</a> for the first week of previews, Pinza discussed with his wife the possibility of a return to the Met, where he knew audiences would welcome him. She told him to let South Pacific's attendees decide for themselves.

There, Billis participates in the native ceremony, while Bloody Mary introduces Cable to her beautiful daughter, Liat, with whom he must communicate haltingly in French. Believing that Liat's only chance at a better life is to marry an American officer, Mary leaves Liat alone with Cable. The two are instantly attracted to each other and make love ("<a href="/wiki/Younger_Than_Springtime" class="mw-redirect" title="Younger Than Springtime">Younger Than Springtime</a>"). Billis and the rest of the crew are ready to leave the island, yet must wait for Cable who, unbeknownst to them, is with Liat ("Bali Ha'i" (reprise)). Bloody Mary proudly tells Billis that Cable is going to be her son-in-law. Meanwhile, after Emile's party, he and Nellie reflect on how happy they are to be in love (Reprises of "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy", "Twin Soliloquies", "Cockeyed Optimist" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair"). Emile introduces Nellie to Jerome and Ngana. Though she finds them charming, she is shocked when Emile reveals that they are his children by his first wife, a dark-skinned Polynesian woman, now deceased. Nellie is unable to overcome her deep-seated racial prejudices and tearfully leaves Emile, after which he reflects sadly on what might have been ("Some Enchanted Evening" (reprise)). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Act_II">Act II </h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Act II">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Three women and three men on stage in a chorus number" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg/220px-Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="290" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg/330px-Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg/440px-Thanksgiving_Follies.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2062" data-file-height="2716" /></a><figcaption>The "Thanksgiving Follies", from the original production.</figcaption></figure> It is <a href="/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)" title="Thanksgiving (United States)">Thanksgiving Day</a>. The GIs and nurses dance in a holiday revue titled "Thanksgiving Follies". In the past week, an epidemic of <a href="/wiki/Malaria" title="Malaria">malaria</a> has hit the island of Bali Ha'i. Having visited Bali Ha'i often to be with Liat, Cable is also ill, but escapes from the hospital to be with Liat. As Liat and Cable spend more time together, Bloody Mary is delighted. She encourages them to continue their carefree life on the island ("<a href="/wiki/Happy_Talk_(song)" title="Happy Talk (song)">Happy Talk</a>") and urges them to marry. Cable, aware of his family's prejudices, says he cannot marry a Tonkinese girl. Bloody Mary furiously drags her distraught daughter away, telling Cable that Liat must now marry a much older French plantation owner instead. Cable laments his loss ("Younger Than Springtime" (reprise)). For the final number of the Thanksgiving Follies, Nellie performs a comedy burlesque dressed as a sailor singing the praises of "his" sweetheart ("Honey Bun"). Billis plays Honey Bun, dressed in a blond wig, grass skirt and coconut-shell bra. After the show, Emile asks Nellie to reconsider. She insists that she cannot feel the same way about him since she knows about his children's Polynesian mother. Frustrated and uncomprehending, Emile asks Cable why he and Nellie have such prejudices. Cable, filled with self-loathing, replies that "it's not something you're born with", yet it is an ingrained part of their upbringing ("<a href="/wiki/You%27ve_Got_to_Be_Carefully_Taught" title="You've Got to Be Carefully Taught">You've Got to Be Carefully Taught</a>"). He also vows that if he gets out of the war alive, he won't go home to the United States; everything he wants is on these islands. Emile imagines what might have been ("This Nearly Was Mine"). Dejected and feeling that he has nothing to lose, he agrees to join Cable on his dangerous mission. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Emile and Nellie grasp hands as Emile's two children look on." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg/220px-Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="247" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg/330px-Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg/440px-Final_scene_South_Pacific.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="674" /></a><figcaption>The final tableau from the original production</figcaption></figure> The mission begins with plenty of air support. Offstage, Billis stows away on the plane, falls out when the plane is hit by anti-aircraft fire, and ends up in the ocean waiting to be rescued; the massive rescue operation inadvertently becomes a diversion that allows Emile and Cable to land on the other side of the island undetected. The two send back reports on Japanese ships' movements in the "Slot", a strategic strait; American aircraft intercept and destroy the Japanese ships. When the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Mitsubishi_A6M" class="mw-redirect" title="Mitsubishi A6M">Zeros</a> strafe the Americans' position, Emile narrowly escapes, but Cable is killed. Nellie learns of Cable's death and that Emile is missing. She realizes that she was foolish to reject Emile. Bloody Mary and Liat come to Nellie asking where Cable is; Mary explains that Liat refuses to marry anyone but him. Nellie comforts Liat. Cable and Emile's espionage work has made it possible for a major offensive, Operation Alligator, to begin. The previously idle fighting men, including Billis, go off to battle. Nellie spends time with Jerome and Ngana and soon comes to love them. While the children are teaching her to sing "Dites-Moi", suddenly Emile's voice joins them. Emile has returned to discover that Nellie has overcome her prejudices and has fallen in love with his children. Emile, Nellie and the children rejoice ("Dites-Moi" (reprise)). <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Principal_roles_and_notable_performers">Principal roles and notable performers</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Principal roles and notable performers">edit</a>]</div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th width="120">Character </th> <th width="180">Description </th> <th width="120">Original Broadway cast<a href="#cite_note-72">[68]</a> </th> <th width="400">Notable subsequent performers in noteworthy productions </th></tr> <tr> <td>Nellie Forbush</td> <td>A young U.S. Navy nurse</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Mary_Martin" title="Mary Martin">Mary Martin</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Janet_Blair" title="Janet Blair">Janet Blair</a>, <a href="/wiki/Martha_Wright_(actress)" title="Martha Wright (actress)">Martha Wright</a>, <a href="/wiki/Julie_Wilson" title="Julie Wilson">Julie Wilson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cloris_Leachman" title="Cloris Leachman">Cloris Leachman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mindy_Carson" title="Mindy Carson">Mindy Carson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Florence_Henderson" title="Florence Henderson">Florence Henderson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iva_Withers" title="Iva Withers">Iva Withers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gemma_Craven" title="Gemma Craven">Gemma Craven</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lauren_Kennedy" title="Lauren Kennedy">Lauren Kennedy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Helena_Blackman" title="Helena Blackman">Helena Blackman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kelli_O%27Hara" title="Kelli O'Hara">Kelli O'Hara</a>, <a href="/wiki/Laura_Osnes" title="Laura Osnes">Laura Osnes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Reba_McEntire" title="Reba McEntire">Reba McEntire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carmen_Cusack" title="Carmen Cusack">Carmen Cusack</a>, <a href="/wiki/Samantha_Womack" title="Samantha Womack">Samantha Womack</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lisa_McCune" title="Lisa McCune">Lisa McCune</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Emile de Becque</td> <td>A middle-aged expatriate French planter</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ezio_Pinza" title="Ezio Pinza">Ezio Pinza</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ray_Middleton_(actor)" title="Ray Middleton (actor)">Ray Middleton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Eastham" title="Richard Eastham">Richard Eastham</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wilbur_Evans" title="Wilbur Evans">Wilbur Evans</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Britton_(musician)" title="George Britton (musician)">George Britton</a>, <a href="/wiki/William_Chapman_(baritone)" title="William Chapman (baritone)">William Chapman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Giorgio_Tozzi" title="Giorgio Tozzi">Giorgio Tozzi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Goulet" title="Robert Goulet">Robert Goulet</a>, <a href="/wiki/Justino_D%C3%ADaz" title="Justino Díaz">Justino Díaz</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philip_Quast" title="Philip Quast">Philip Quast</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dave_Willetts" title="Dave Willetts">Dave Willetts</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brian_Stokes_Mitchell" title="Brian Stokes Mitchell">Brian Stokes Mitchell</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paulo_Szot" title="Paulo Szot">Paulo Szot</a>, <a href="/wiki/Teddy_Tahu_Rhodes" title="Teddy Tahu Rhodes">Teddy Tahu Rhodes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rod_Gilfry" title="Rod Gilfry">Rod Gilfry</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Lt.

They are listed in the order of their one-time placement within the show: <ul><li>"Bright Canary Yellow", a short song for Nellie and Emile, was placed just before "A Cockeyed Optimist", of which the opening line, "When the sky is a bright canary yellow" was intended to play off of the earlier song.<a href="#cite_note-73">[69]</a></li> <li>"Now Is the Time" (Emile) was placed in the beach scene (Act I, Scene 7) just after Emile tells Nellie why he killed the man in France. It was to be reprised after "<a href="/wiki/You%27ve_Got_to_Be_Carefully_Taught" title="You've Got to Be Carefully Taught">You've Got to Be Carefully Taught</a>", but it was felt that for Emile to remain on stage while singing of immediate action was self-contradictory. It was replaced in Act I by a reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening"; in Act II it was initially replaced by "Will You Marry Me?" (later repurposed for <a href="/wiki/Pipe_Dream_(musical)" title="Pipe Dream (musical)">Pipe Dream</a>) on March 24, 1949, and then by "This Nearly Was Mine" on March 29, just over a week before the Broadway opening on April 7.<a href="#cite_note-74">[70]</a></li> <li>"Loneliness of Evening" (Emile) was cut before the Broadway opening. It was to occur in the first backstage scene (Act II, Scene 2) prior to "Happy Talk" and was sung to the same melody as "Bright Canary Yellow". Its melody can be heard in the 1958 film as Emile reads aloud the card with the flowers he has brought backstage for Nellie to the Thanksgiving show; the second stanza was repurposed and sung by the Prince in the 1965 TV production of <a href="/wiki/Cinderella_(Rodgers_and_Hammerstein_musical)" title="Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein musical)">Cinderella</a>.<a href="#cite_note-75">[71]</a></li> <li>A reprise of "Younger Than Springtime" that follows Cable's rejection of Liat, was added after January 1949.<a href="#cite_note-B142-76">[72]</a> It followed two separate attempts at songs for Cable.

According to professor <a href="/wiki/Philip_Beidler" title="Philip Beidler">Philip Beidler</a>, "Rodgers and Hammerstein's attempt to use the Broadway theater to make a courageous statement against racial bigotry in general and <a href="/wiki/Institutional_racism" title="Institutional racism">institutional racism</a> in the postwar United States in particular" forms part of South Pacific's legend.<a href="#cite_note-141">[137]</a> Although Tales of the South Pacific treats the question of racism, it does not give it the central place that it takes in the musical. Andrea Most, writing on the "politics of race" in South Pacific, suggests that in the late 1940s, American liberals, such as Rodgers and Hammerstein, turned to the fight for racial equality as a practical means of advancing their progressive views without risking being deemed communists.<a href="#cite_note-142">[138]</a> <a href="/wiki/Trevor_Nunn" title="Trevor Nunn">Trevor Nunn</a>, director of the 2001 West End production, notes the importance of the fact that Nellie, a southerner, ends the play about to be the mother in an interracial family: "It's being performed in America in 1949.

Hammerstein repeatedly rewrote the Act II backstage scene where Emile, Nellie and Cable confront the question of the Americans' racism.<a href="#cite_note-racial-144">[140]</a> As critic Robert Butler pointed out in his educational companion to the 2001 London production, "if one young person has a prejudice, it might be a character flaw; if two young people share a prejudice, it tells us something about the society in which they grew up".<a href="#cite_note-b3-128">[124]</a> In one draft, Emile advises that the Americans are no better than the Axis Powers, in their prejudice, and suggests they go home to sing songs about how all are created free and equal. Lovensheimer states that a postwar American audience would have found such onstage sentiments to be offensive.

Judging by the letters that remain among his papers in the <a href="/wiki/Library_of_Congress" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a>, the reaction was mixed. One correspondent wrote "What can I say to a man who writes, 'You've got to be taught to hate and fear?' ...

Two Georgia state legislators, Senator John D. Shepard and Representative David C. Jones, objected to the song, stating that though South Pacific was a fine piece of entertainment, that song "contained an underlying philosophy inspired by Moscow", and explained, "Intermarriage produces half-breeds. And half-breeds are not conducive to the higher type of society. ... In the South, we have pure blood lines and we intend to keep it that way." They stated that they planned to introduce legislation to outlaw such communist-inspired works. The Northern press had a field day; Hammerstein, when asked for comment, responded that he did not think the legislators were representing their constituents very well, and that he was surprised at the suggestion that anything kind and decent must necessarily originate in Moscow.<a href="#cite_note-M163-150">[146]</a><a href="#cite_note-151">[147]</a> In part because of the song, touring companies of South Pacific had difficulty getting bookings in the <a href="/wiki/Deep_South" title="Deep South">Deep South</a>.<a href="#cite_note-152">[148]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pinza_with_kids.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Pinza, in a white suit, walks along holding a mixed-race boy, about 7 or 8 years old, while listening to a slightly older girl who walks next to him." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Pinza_with_kids.jpg/170px-Pinza_with_kids.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Pinza_with_kids.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="224" data-file-height="290" /></a><figcaption>Emile (Pinza) with his children.</figcaption></figure> In the final scene of Act I, Nellie rejects Emile because of his part-Polynesian children.

They entered the workforce during the war, only to find afterwards a societal expectation that they give up their jobs to men, with their best route to financial security being marriage and becoming a housewife. One means of securing audience acceptance of Nellie's choices was the sanitization of her sexual past from her counterpart in the Michener work – that character had a <a href="/wiki/4-F_(US_Military)" class="mw-redirect" title="4-F (US Military)">4-F</a> boyfriend back in Arkansas and a liaison with Bill Harbison while on the island.<a href="#cite_note-156">[152]</a><a href="#cite_note-157">[153]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Billis_and_Nellie_laundry.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A military scene.

In the aftermath of World War II, the masculinity of the American soldier was beyond public question. Cable's virility with Liat is made evident to the audience. Although Billis operates a laundry – Nellie particularly praises his pleats – and appears in a grass skirt in the "Thanksgiving Follies", these acts are consistent with his desire for money and are clearly intended to be comic. His interest in the young women on Bali H'ai establishes his masculinity. Lovensheimer writes that Billis is more defined by class than by sexuality, evidenced by the Seabee's assumption, on learning that Cable went to college in New Jersey, that it was <a href="/wiki/Rutgers_University" title="Rutgers University">Rutgers</a> (the state's flagship public university), rather than <a href="/wiki/Ivy_League" title="Ivy League">Ivy League</a> Princeton, and by his delight on learning that the rescue operation for him had cost $600,000 when his uncle had told him he would never be worth a dime.<a href="#cite_note-158">[154]</a><a href="#cite_note-159">[155]</a> Meryle Secrest, in her biography of Rodgers, theorizes that South Pacific marks a transition for the pair "between heroes and heroines who are more or less evenly matched in age and stories about powerful older men and the younger women who are attracted to them".<a href="#cite_note-160">[156]</a> Lovensheimer points out that this pattern only holds for two of their five subsequent musicals, The King and I and <a href="/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music" title="The Sound of Music">The Sound of Music</a>, and in the former, the love between Anna and the King is not expressed in words. He believes a different transition took place: that their plots, beginning with South Pacific, involve a woman needing to enter and accept her love interest's world to be successful and accepted herself. He notes that both Oklahoma! and Carousel involve a man entering his wife's world, Curly in Oklahoma! about to become a farmer with expectations of success, whereas Billy Bigelow in Carousel fails to find work after leaving his place as a barker. Lovensheimer deems Allegro to be a transition, where the attempts of the lead female character to alter her husband Joe's world to suit her ambition lead to the breakup of their marriage. He argues that the nurse Emily, who goes with Joe in his return to the small town where he was happy, is a forerunner of Nellie, uprooting her life in Chicago for Joe.<a href="#cite_note-161">[157]</a> Secrest notes that much is overlooked in the rush to have love conquer all in South Pacific, "questions of the long-term survival of a marriage between a sophisticate who read Proust at bedtime and a girl who liked Dinah Shore and did not read anything were raised by Nellie Forbush only to be brushed aside. As for the interracial complexities of raising two Polynesian children, all such issues were subsumed in the general euphoria of true love."<a href="#cite_note-162">[158]</a> Lovensheimer too wonders how Nellie will fare as the second Madame de Becque: "little Nellie Forbush from Arkansas ends up in a tropical paradise, far from her previous world, with a husband, a servant, and two children who speak a language she does not understand".<a href="#cite_note-163">[159]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cultural_effect">Cultural effect</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Cultural effect">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Wash_man_from_hair.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Martin, wearing a swimsuit, stands in an improvised shower stall as water pours down on her." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Wash_man_from_hair.jpg/220px-Wash_man_from_hair.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="268" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Wash_man_from_hair.jpg/330px-Wash_man_from_hair.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Wash_man_from_hair.jpg/440px-Wash_man_from_hair.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2664" data-file-height="3244" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Mary_Martin" title="Mary Martin">Mary Martin</a> washed her hair onstage eight times a week.</figcaption></figure> A mammoth hit, South Pacific sparked huge media and public attention.

Fake ticket stubs could be purchased for use as status symbols.<a href="#cite_note-M153-134">[130]</a> There were South Pacific music boxes, dolls, fashion accessories, and even hairbrushes for use after washing men from hair.<a href="#cite_note-164">[160]</a> Martin's on-stage shower prompted an immediate fashion craze for short hair that could be managed through once-a-day washing at home, rather than in a beauty salon, and for the products which would allow for such care.<a href="#cite_note-165">[161]</a> The songs of South Pacific could be heard on the radio, and they were popular among dance bands and in piano lounges.<a href="#cite_note-M153-134">[130]</a> Mordden comments that South Pacific contained nothing but hit songs; Rodgers and Hammerstein's other successful works always included at least one song which did not become popular.<a href="#cite_note-166">[162]</a> The cast album, recorded ten days after the show's opening, was an immediate hit.

In the years to come, the LP would become the medium of choice for the "longhair" music niche of show, opera and classical performances.<a href="#cite_note-167">[163]</a> An indirect effect of the success of the show was the career of James Michener. His one percent of the show as author of the source material, plus the income from a share which the duo allowed him to buy on credit, made him financially independent and allowed him to quit his job as an editor at Macmillan and to become a full-time writer.<a href="#cite_note-168">[164]</a><a href="#cite_note-169">[165]</a> Over the next five decades, his lengthy, detailed novels centering on different places would dominate the bestseller lists.<a href="#cite_note-170">[166]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Music_and_recordings">Music and recordings</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Music and recordings">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Musical_treatment">Musical treatment</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Musical treatment">edit</a>]</div> The role of Nellie Forbush was the first time with Hammerstein that Rodgers made the leading female role a <a href="/wiki/Belt_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Belt (music)">belter</a>, rather than a <a href="/wiki/Lyric_soprano" title="Lyric soprano">lyric soprano</a> like Laurey in Oklahoma! and Julie in Carousel.<a href="#cite_note-171">[n 5]</a> According to Mordden, "Nellie was something new in R&H, carrying a goodly share of the score on a 'Broadway' voice".<a href="#cite_note-172">[167]</a> Nellie does not sing together with Emile, because Rodgers promised Martin that she would not have to compete vocally with Pinza,<a href="#cite_note-173">[n 6]</a> but the composer sought to unite them in the underlying music. A <a href="/wiki/Tetrachord" title="Tetrachord">tetrachord</a>, heard before we see either lead, is played during the instrumental introduction to "Dites-Moi", the show's first song. Considered as pitch classes, that is, as pitches without characterization by octave or register, the motif is C-B-A-G. It will be heard repeatedly in Nellie's music, or in the music (such as "Twin Soliloquies") that she shares with Emile, and even in the bridge of "Some Enchanted Evening". Lovensheimer argues that this symbolizes what Nellie is trying to say with her Act II line "We're the same sort of people fundamentally – you and me".<a href="#cite_note-174">[168]</a> Originally, "Twin Soliloquies" came to an end shortly after the vocal part finishes. Logan found this unsatisfying and worked with Trude Rittmann to find a better ending to the song. This piece of music, dubbed "Unspoken Thoughts", continues the music as Nellie and Emile sip brandy together, and is called by Lovensheimer "the one truly operatic moment of the score".<a href="#cite_note-175">[169]</a> "This Nearly Was Mine" is a big bass solo for Emile in waltz time, deemed by Rodgers biographer William G. Hyland as "one of his finest efforts".<a href="#cite_note-WGH183-176">[170]</a> Only five notes are used in the first four bars, a phrase which is then repeated with a slight variation in the following four bars. The song ends an octave higher than where it began, making it perfect for Pinza's voice.<a href="#cite_note-WGH183-176">[170]</a> Two songs, "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "Honey Bun" are intended to imitate American popular songs of the 1940s. In the former, the triple recitation of the song title at intervals suggests a <a href="/wiki/Big_band" title="Big band">big band</a> arrangement of the wartime era, while in the bridge, the final eight bars (repeating the lyrics from the bridge's first eight bars) gives a suggestion of <a href="/wiki/Swing_music" title="Swing music">swing</a>. The sections beginning "If the man don't understand you" and "If you laugh at different comics" have a <a href="/wiki/Blues" title="Blues">blues</a> style. Lovensheimer deems the song "Nellie's spontaneous and improvisatory expression of her feelings through the vocabulary of popular song".<a href="#cite_note-177">[171]</a> Mordden suggests that "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" with its "take no prisoners bounce", might well be the center of the score, with the typical American girl defending her love by spouting clichés, many of which, such as "corny as Kansas in August" Hammerstein made up, and "sure enough, over the years they have become clichés".<a href="#cite_note-178">[172]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recordings">Recordings</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pacific_(musical)&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Recordings">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:South_pacific_bway_1949.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7a/South_pacific_bway_1949.jpg/220px-South_pacific_bway_1949.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7a/South_pacific_bway_1949.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="316" data-file-height="316" /></a><figcaption>Cover of original cast album</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> recorded the overture and most of the songs from the original production in 1949, using members of the cast including <a href="/wiki/Ezio_Pinza" title="Ezio Pinza">Ezio Pinza</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mary_Martin" title="Mary Martin">Mary Martin</a>.
