Description

This one or two-day lesson (75 pages) and study guide focuses on the Tony award winning musical South Pacific. In its brilliant artistry, the masterpiece of Rodgers and Hammerstein turned a spotlight on the hypocritical, hateful nature of racism. Students have an opportunity to study its journey to Broadway, plot, creative team, songs, composers, plot, trivia, etc.

The lesson can stand alone or be combined with one of my Famous Artist Biographies Hugh Jackman for example) or other musical lessons (Hamilton or Wicked)

Need a quick emergency lesson plan? Or one for a substitute? This is super helpful for a vocal music or musical theater class!
