A Tale Of The Southern Sky «一水南天»

A Tale Of The Southern Sky «一水南天»大時代之下，香港人如何對抗天命？今集演藝盛薈，為大家獻上由香港舞蹈團和演戲家族聯合演出的本地原創音樂劇《一水南天》。合共四十位演員及舞蹈員將舞蹈、歌唱、戲劇三種表演藝術融合，演繹出一套充滿香港情懷的史詩式作品。故事始於1920年的香港，碼頭苦力陳一水一直不忿米商壓榨工錢，繼而隨船運米，險死還生。一水決定放膽一搏，向劫富濟貧的海盜女當家徐老海借米，開展米業生意，為自己和兄弟們掙一口飯。一水隨即遭受米業巨頭俞少鴻的打壓，幾乎翻不了身。

幸得米業大亨方學臨的女兒方玟引薦，一水再憑藉其精明的頭腦，贏得學臨的賞識，收為徒弟。方玟更把自小隨父習得的稻米知識傾囊相授，成為一水事業發展的一大助力。同時間，一水得到老海多番義助，保障運米船隊平安，彼此欣賞，發展出知己情愫。一水不求肚滿腸肥，力謀壓低米價，造福大眾，不惜得罪師父，方玟竟為保他而委身下嫁。情愛與恩義本來難以取捨，但在為民爭一口飯的理念下，一水清楚誰才是最適合自己的伴侶。輾轉數年，香港爆發嚴重米荒，少鴻及一眾米商為謀取暴利，囤積居奇，以致民不聊生。時已躋身米業大行的一水，竟背道而行，傾家蕩產與同行對抗，力壓米價。

危急關頭，老海最後一次伸出援手，一水終於扭轉乾坤，以一人之力戰勝巨敵，保住民眾溫飽。

1941年，日軍侵華，香港處於淪陷邊緣，米源短缺。一水明知路途艱險，依然親赴暹邏，請求摯友鄭九鼎協助，運米回港救災。九鼎力勸一水保住自身，放棄香港，移居暹邏。一水無私為民，不單打動了九鼎，更使昔日敵對的同行少鴻願意借船運米，解決民生困局。可惜當一水排除萬難，把米運到香港，日軍臨城的噩耗令他再次面對人生最艱難的抉擇。
