This is a digital surround recording, which took place at the world famous Abbey Road studios. The leads are sung by international opera star Justino Diaz and Broadway star Paige O’Hara, supported by Pat Suzuki and Sean McDermott. A cast and recording that The Sunday Times were to say ‘has the excitement and immediacy of a Shaftesbury Avenue first night.   Recommended for anyone…”.

A runaway success both on Broadway and in the West End, South Pacific tells the stories of American GI’s stationed in foreign climes and the relationships that they were to develop with the local girls and their communities.
