Plaza Suite is a musical play composed of three acts, each involving different characters but all set in Suite 719 of New York City’s Plaza Hotel.

South Pacific is a musical composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan. Rodgers and Hammerstein believed they could write a musical based on James A. Michener’s Pulitzer Prize–winning 1947 book Tales of the South Pacific that would be financially successful and, at the same time, send a strong progressive message on racism.
