On this day in 2008, Lincoln Center Theater opened the very first Broadway revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s 1949 musical, South Pacific. Directed by Bartlett Sher, the production starred Kelli O’Hara, Paulo Szot, Danny Burstein, Matthew Morrison, & Loretta Ables Sayre. It went on to win 7 Tony Awards (including Best Revival of a Musical), and was filmed for broadcast on PBS.
