Over the course of nearly 20 years, the songwriting team of Richard Rodgers (composer) and Oscar Hammerstein (lyricist) churned out one mega-hit after another. Beginning with their western musical—Oklahoma—and ending with the soaring The Sound of Music, the partnership proved particularly fruitful. Over the course of four weeks, we will look at the blockbuster productions of State Fair, South Pacific, and The King and I. In addition, we will examine their lesser known—but still noteworthy productions of Allegro, Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream, among others. Please come and join us as we journey through Broadway history, following the path carved out by these two masters of the American musical.
