SOUTH PACIFIC: Rodgers & Hammerstein's Academy Award-winning "South Pacific" is a towering musical masterpiece and the tender love story of a naive young Navy nurse (Mitzi Gaynor) and an older French plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi) on a U.S.-occupied South Sea Island. The breathtaking score is highlighted by some of the most romantic songs ever written: "Some Enchanted Evening," "There is Nothin' Live a Dame," "Younger than Springtime" and more. Directed by Joshua Logan.
STATE FAIR: In this rousing celebration of love and laughter in America's heartland, each member of the Frake family is out for a different prize when they attend their state fair. Father wants a blue ribbon for his favourite pet pig. First prize, and only first prize, will do for Mom's entry in the pie-baking contest. For their son and daughter (Dick Haymes and Jeanne Crain), the hunt is on for true love. This Rodgers and Hammerstein score features "It's A Grand Night for Singing," and the Academy Award-winning song "It Might As Well Be Spring."
OKLAHOMA: Celebrate Rodgers & Hammersteins uplifting Oklahoma! Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900's, this joyous celebration of frontier life is a story of tender romance and dangerous passion. Gordon MacRae is Curly, a sunny, good-natured ranch hand, and Shirley Jones is Laurey Williams, the farmer's daughter he loves. Rod Steiger is the menacing Jud, who tries to come between them. The first Rodgers & Hammerstein collaboration, this Academy Award winner for Best Score features the classic songs "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and "People Will Say We're in Love."
CAROUSEL: Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones are reunited in this second classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. In this bittersweet love story Billy Bigelow (MacRae), a smooth-talking carny barker, falls in love with a millworker (Jones) in a little town on the coast of Maine. Although Billy is killed during a robbery before the birth of his daughter, years later he is allowed to return to earth for one day to redeem himself - and to teach his daughter one very important lesson. This, the most poetic and lyrical of all the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, features the classics "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone."
