Rodgers And Hammerstein
May 1, 2020 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
So just how good were Rodgers and Hammerstein? In a 16 year career, they wrote 11 musicals.
Six of those musical are among the very best ever produced! The greatest hits of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II include:
√ Oklahoma
√ Carousel
V The King and I (click here for a look at the fascinating story of the real Anna and the King!)
√ South Pacific (click here for the amazing story of why they wanted to write about racism)
√ Cinderella
√ The Sound Of Music
Their shows are so brilliant, 
breathtaking and visionary that 75 years after Oklahoma premiered and changed the entire course of American musical theater, it still thrills audiences. When it was revived in 2019, with an African American woman in the lead and a brilliant actress in a wheelchair playing Ado Annie, it won the Tony Award as the best revival of a musical!
Using numerous clips from Broadway and the movies, fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and fascinating biographical information on each member of the team, cultural historian (and self described Broadway Nerd) Barry Bradford will take us deep into the legacy and the impact of the greatest Broadway songwriting duo of all times: Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II!
