Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

The greatest partnership in the history of the musical, captured in print, wonderfully illustrated, and revised. Packed with wonderfully evocative photographs from the glory days of Broadway, Nolan's book tells not just the story of the two men's careers, but the story of the creation of their beloved works -- Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The Sound of Music -- as well. This revision includes new material on Rodger's early career.

Synopsis

The greatest partnership in the history of the musical captured in print wonderfully illustrated. For this new edition the book has been completely rewritten and substantially expanded to include material on Rodgers' early career with Lorenz Hart as well as his later work and also features recollections from such theatrical titans as Sheldon Harnick Martin Charnin Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents. Also a completely new appendix reveals the details of the continuing worldwide phenomenon of Rodgers and Hammerstein's work up to and including the 2002 centennial year for Rodgers.

Synopsis

Includes bibliographical references (p. [301]-302) and index.

Table of Contents

Away we go! -- Oscar -- Dick and Larry -- About as far as they can go! -- The South Pacific years -- Broadway's miracle men -- Only human -- So long, farewell -- Finale -- Finale ultimo.

I have the 1978 version of this book. I did not know that there is a revised version of the book and I intend to look into it. I find this book to be very informative about two men who wrote wonderful Broadway Musicals Together. They have a legacy that will never go away. As new generations of children are born they will get to see the brillance of these men who are no longer with us. Yet their words and music are forever captured on the big screen. You can find comfort in the songs that they wrote together and you can learn from the songs as well. I highly recommend this book to all of the Movie Musical lovers of the world.
