RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S
Musical Theater
Music and Lyrics by Rodgers and Hammerstein
Conceived by Walter Bobbie
Musical Arrangements by Fred Wells
April 7 – May 2, 2004
Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon conceived by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie. Over three decades after the duos final collaboration, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, took the Great White Way by storm, it was in fact this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical. With innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair," a swingin' "Honeybun" worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy "Kansas City" which leaves no question about how terrifically up to date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
USA TODAY: "A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING is enough to restore one's faith in the future of the revue and the durability of Rodgers & Hammerstein. It gives the material the kind of thoughtful rethinking it has long deserved."
NEW YORK POST: "A splendiferous show of songs, a terrific compendium. Everything's up to date with Rodgers and Hammerstein is indeed a grand night!"
