Love transcends the harsh realities of war and prejudice in this Pulitzer Prize-winning tale centered around two unlikely love affairs.

This timeless Rodgers & Hammerstein classic features beautifully-composed music woven into a world-cherished and inspirational story.
The beloved score’s songs include “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair” and “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame” amidst big, Broadway performances.
