New Book SOMETHING WONDERFUL: Rodgers And Hammerstein's Broadway Revolution Available Tomorrow!
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's first musical, Oklahoma, opened on Broadway on March 31, 1943, and will mark its 75thanniversary this spring. That show, along with Carousel whose new Broadway revival opens on April 12, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music firmly established Rodgers and Hammerstein at the apex of the great age of the American Songbook.
