South Pacific Musical - semi staged performance
Hutt Valley Orchestra performs a semi-staged convert of South Pacific Musical.
Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, Coastlands Theatre
Saturday 24 August 2024 6:00pm – 8:00pm
This is the essence of the musical South Pacific - the story, the singers and the orchestra. Come and hear such favourites as "Gonna Wash That Man", "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Bali Ha'i".
The show is a 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, set on an island in the South Pacific during World War II. It was based on a series of short stories by James Michener.
The musical was a massive hit, and the songs continue to be popular. Ours is an semi-staged performance. Mainly, that means no scenery and dancing. You still get narration, the songs, and a full orchestra. The singers are from Victoria University Music Department, and the music is played by Hutt Valley Orchestra under the baton of Mark Carter.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
