South Pacific

As you may know my school is doing South Pacific with MacRob.
It is by Rodgers and Hammerstein, otherwise known as the guys who wrote the Sound of Music.
The story is basically Nellie the Nurse meets Emile the French Plantation Owner. They fall in love. While this is happening, Lieutenant Cable falls in love with Bloody Mary (the Tonkinese souvenir seller)'s daughter, Liat. Nellie decides she can't love him when she finds out that Emile had a Polynesian wife, who died and left him with two children. Cable decides he can't marry Liat, because she is of a different race. Emile and Cable feel very dejected and go on a very dangerous mission, in which Cable gets killed. Nellie realises that she shouldn't reject Emile on the basis that he has had a previous relationship with a Polynesian woman, and gets all cut because she thinks Emile is dead. Emile returns safely and they all live happily ever after.
It's full of great songs, such as There is Nothing Like a Dame (which is basically guys singing about how much they want sex, which is very funny), Happy Talk (sounds like a euphemism for sex, but it is about dreams), Some Enchanted Evening (hmm... the cheesy obligatory love song), A Cock-eyed Optimist (such a bad name, but is fairly good), Dites-Moi (which is in French, and I can understand it, but it is about love, so another cheesy love song made much better because it is in French), Bloody Mary (which is about Bloody Mary, who provides comic relief, and who's skin is tender as Di Maggio's Glove, who ever the hell Di Maggio is), I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair (which is a very catchy song about Nellie getting rid of Emile, which doesn't happen until later), Bali Ha'i (which is about this mysterious island, which everyone seems to visit), Honey Bun (which is part of the play-in-a-play part, which is all about this mysterious Honey Bun, who is 60 inches tall (150 cm) and weighs 1o1 pounds (45 kilos)), Younger than Springtime (which has a musical sex scene, with all sorts of random things going on such as Aug 4ths and a bit of chromaticism thrown in for good measure) and my favourite, Incidental (well not actually my favourite, actually I hate it).
I give it a 9/10
