Volume 135: South Pacific

The team of Rodgers and Hammerstein was a multiple award-winning and highly influential broadway show writing duo. They also weren't afraid of touching on controversial subjects in their shows. The show we will be hearing music from started as a book, became a highly successful broadway show, then an award-winning movie. So, get ready to hear cuts from one of the two copies my dad had of this soundtrack with Volume 135: South Pacific. http://www.ogunquitplayhouse.org/2012-south-pacific-about Credits and copyrights Rodgers & Hammerstein – South Pacific Label: RCA Victor – LOCD-2000 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono, Gatefold Released: 1958 Genre: Stage & Screen Style: Soundtrack Deluxe edition.
