11. South Pacific
from Broadway Binge Hosted by Jeremy Berman and Hannah Van Sciver
This week, we talk about South Pacific (1949) by Rodgers and Hammerstein! We discuss the musical's message of racial tolerance, its exploration of discrimination, and whether the show itself is problematic in its approach to dealing with racism. We also play a whole bunch of songs, because this is probably the best score we've talked about so far. Can it dethrone Oklahoma and Guys and Dolls? Listen to find out!
