This is the second title word of a work that represents a certain island with the motif of an ascending octave followed by a descending half-step. This is the first title word of a work in which a mother says that when a leader is weak, "the tea must be strong", to explain why she poisoned her son; that work features a parody of Gilbert & Sullivan sung by a British Admiral in "Please Hello". This is the second title word of a work in which a heroine who feels "as (*) corny as Kansas in August" showers onstage while trying to "wash that man right out of [her] hair"; that character overcomes her "carefully taught" prejudice against Emile de Becque's half-Polynesian children and is the army nurse Nellie Forbush. For 10 points, name this first title word of a Stephen Sondheim musical about the Westernization of Japan, and the second title word of a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical featuring the song "Some Enchanted Evening".
