London Theatre Royal – South Pacific – 1951 – Helen Landis
An original theatre programme for South Pacific at the Theatre Royal, London, dated 1 November 1951. The cast includes Helen Landis, Neville Crabtree, Henrey Goodier and Muriel Smith.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s wartime romance, set on a Pacific island, gave the world songs such as “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Bali Ha’i” and “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair”.
From the musical’s first London run, this is a classic example of old theatre programmes from the 1950s.
