Baldwin, recently of Broadway's Wonderful Town, was a Helen Hayes Award nominee for playing spunky nurse Nellie Forbush in Arena Stage's revival of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical. Van Treuren's credits include Broadway's The Scarlet Pimpernel. "During World War II on an island paradise, Nellie Forbush, a naval nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with an older French plantation owner, Emile de Becque," according to NCT notes about the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical. "At the same time, Lieutenant Joe Cable of the U.S. Marine Corps seizes the opportunity to go to the island of Bali Ha'i where he meets Bloody Mary, a native souvenir dealer who introduces Cable to her daughter, Liat. Both couples become involved in war-time romances that are interrupted by racial intolerance and violence. Throughout South Pacific, recurring themes of love, war and prejudice are revealed in this classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical."
