Running since: March 2008 A revival of the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musical plays the main hall at Lincoln Center Theater. Winner of 7 2008 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
This is one of the gold-standard Broadway musicals of the last century in its first Broadway revival, staged by one of the city's leading art theatres, winning rave reviews in the tri-state press - an excellent purchase for those looking for the classic Broadway experience. The anguished goings-on and rapturous arias would certainly bore the tykes, but for adults looking for a lavish staging of a classic show, this is a great choice.
Plot: Deep in the Pacific theater of WWII, a nurse falls for a local planter, but recoils when she discovers that he had once been married to an island native. A serviceman is faced with a similar decision when mulling happiness with an innocent 'Tonkinese' girl.
Here's a video montage from the production (no singing for some reason, but the images are stunning and you can probably sing along as you watch anyway):
