The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical based on a James Michener novel, known for its strong progressive message on racism, became one of the longest running Broadway musicals in history. It won ten Tonys, and is the only musical to win in all four acting categories. South Pacific opened on Broadway on April 7, 1949, and has thrived in many revivals and incarnations since.
