The musical is well known for its extraordinary score the songs include Some Enchanted Evening, Younger Than Springtime, Bali HaI, There Is Nothing Like a Dame, and A Wonderful Guy. Its portrayal of Americans stationed in an unfamiliar culture in wartime is as relevant today as when it first delighted audiences in 1949.
