ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

My mom was a US Navy nurse, in 1959 and 1960, just before Viet Nam. She can swear like a sailor and has a voice that can make a corpsman jump. She joined the Navy to pay for college and to see the world. She paid for college and went all the way from Arlington, VA to Bethesda, MD. She could literally still live at home. Even now, this is a fairly easy commute. The doctors and officers would get to the front desk and get to see the nurses' schedules before the nurses did. They would then ask them out on dates and when the nurse would say, "Well, I have to check my schedule first," the doctor/officer would answer, "Oh, you're free. I've already checked your schedule." My mom organized a group of nurses who went to the hospital administration and requested that no one else see their schedule before they did. Bethesda Naval Hospital complied with their request.

"There Is Nothing Like a Dame" is sung in Act One, Scene 3 of South Pacific, AFTER: "Dites-Moi Pourquoi," "A Cockeyed Optimist," (Double Soliloquies), "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Bloody Mary Is the Girl I Love." So it's actually the fifth (or sixth) musical number. R&H had revolutionized the American musical several years earlier when they opened "Oklahoma!" with Curley singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and beginning it off-stage. Here they put the relationship between Nellie and Emile front and center from the start -- and that's where the show will end as well.

How to sing a dirty song about not getting laid and make it sound wholesome enough that high school drama departments can put it on. I first saw this song performed as a 12 year old middle Schooler when the senior high kids came to my school to put on a performance of South Pacific, the fall musical that year. The storyline is quite risqué… Not only this number but there’s the small issue of Bloody Mary pimping out her underage daughter to the white lieutenant…and the May-September romance between Nurse Forbush and the broodingly Handsome much older “plantation” owner. The music and lyrics by Rogers and Hammerstein is brilliant beyond compare, wonderfully encapsulating this complex and very of its time story into a timeless classic. If I’m not mistaken, this was the duo’s personal favorite of their collaborations. I have not seen it advertised for the live stage in recent years and I wonder what today’s cancel culture bodes for its fate. Watching this number makes me want to revisit the whole film.

I think it’s still being performed, but not very often anymore. I don’t think in the current climate that highschoolers would put it on given the content.

Imagine if this was still cool these days. How far the world has fallen.

We did South Pacific for our senior class play in 1972. I was one of those sailors, and I still remember the lyrics of that song. What a blast we had doing that show. My only regret is that it wasn't recorded, because nobody had the means. Beta and vhs came along later, along with cam-corders and cel phones. Still great memories.

Oh man I love this musical 😍 in my little town they use to do plays and my grandpa apparently played Luther Billis; coconut bra, ship tattoo and all!!!! Long before I was ever a thought!

I guess the only thing I can do to take this song out of my head is to sing it wholeheartedly

My brothers and I watched this so often we knew the script and even acted out the songs, mom had the record and on rainy days we wore it out

Whenever the dames...I mean, women, are on screen it's sunny and whenever they are not it's cloudy. That's dames!

昔の映画は、とにかく画面が鮮やかで同時に背景がとてもきれい。

South Pacific. "There is Nothing Like a Dame". "I'm thankful, for what they got."

I got to see this onstage in 1987 with Robert Goulet, Barbara Eden, David Carroll, Armelia McQueen as Bloody Mary and Lia Chang as Liat. It was an amazing show unto which I cannot imagine a comparison.

@Arkelk2010 5 лет назад

I don't remember the cast, but I did see a touring company with Robert Goulet. Not only did the part fit his voice very well, but it was good to hear De Beque with a French, instead of an Italian accent.

Did that in Ord High School. Freaking awesome times

I grew up watching all these oldies. "Nothin like those Less but Goodies👍". Growing up, Weekend Movies were AWESOME: All the Classic Movies played All Day & Night! Then the Industry, Actors & Content CHANGED, & Not for the Better, just more & more Extreme Everything goes! 1st sign of change: Now the People R taking back the Industry: even Christian Producers, Directors, Actors & Crews R AGAIN putting out Movies for Ppl of All Ages to Watch 👏. PRAISE GOD for Waking Us Up🐝🌱💞👼
