North Atlantic is an affectionate multi-level spoof of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals: set in Eskimo land. With South Pacific as its closest touchstone, this family musical features elements reminiscent of all the entire Rogers and Hammerstein catalogue. Set somewhere in the mysterious North Atlantic, it takes place sometime after World War II. It tells how Honey Snodgrass and Melanie Fong, members of the Ioway branch of the Teaching Corps, find romance, bigotry, and a dream ballet in this exotic region.
