Love transcends the harsh realities of war and prejudice in this sweeping Pulitzer Prize-winning tale centered around two unlikely love affairs. Set on a tropical island during World War II, this timeless Rodgers & Hammerstein classic features some of the most beautiful music ever composed woven into an inspiring story cherished the world over.

Now in 2022, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC roars back onto the stages of America and speaks directly to the realities of this generation. Winner of ten Tony Awards, the beloved score includes “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame,” and “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught.” Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC is a unique contemporary theatrical experience about all the dreamers among us who are searching for our own Bali-ha’i.

A Message From Our Friends

 

 

 

New Jersey Ballet Repertory Evening

 

 

New Jersey Ballet Repertory Evening
Saturday, May 21, at 8:00 pm

 

 

This exciting mixed bill will feature George Balanchine’s virtuosic Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux, which presents the audience a display of ballet bravura and technique and Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain pas de deux, an intimate pas de deux balancing freedom and beauty with the elegant simplicity of Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel

The Company will also present Masquerade by Bettijane Sills. About Happiness, choreographed by Jackson Ferreira, which explores the search for the truest sense of fulfillment between two souls who have formed a strong connection and its many forms.

"I was lucky enough to be in the studio with Christopher Wheeldon when After the Rain was created.  My deep respect and admiration for Chris extends beyond the workplace.  His passion and creativity are a true source of inspiration for anyone who is fortunate enough to work with him.  This ballet was created on two of New York City Ballet's most well known principal dancers Wendy Whelan and Jock Soto.  Because of their unique partnership and artistry the ballet became an immediate success and is now performed world wide.  

It was not until many years later that I had the pleasure to perform this heartfelt pas de deux.  In its simplicity it is a divine creation and a gift to dance this exquisite work.

It has been truly a gift to have the opportunity to set this glorious work and pass on my experience and understanding to these beautiful dancers at NJB.  I find it has been just as rewarding on the other side and truly fulfilling to see their own interpretation and growth as artists as they dive into this work."—Maria Kowroski, Acting Artistic Director
