Maui's own OCEAN Vodka takes centerstage Thursday night at Lincoln Center's Vivivan Beaumont Theater, when signature Bali Ha'i cocktails, made with OCEAN, will be served in a pre-show reception and intermission of "South Pacific," the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic.

"South Pacific" is now in previews, and it's heading for an April 3 launch.

Another Island link is on stage: Honolulu actress Loretta Ables Sayre stars as Bloody Mary in the revival.
