ABOUT THE CONCERT
Richard Rodgers’ contributions to musical theatre of his day were extraordinary, and his influence on the musical theatre genre is without comparison. His career spanned more than six decades composing music for over 900 songs and 43 Broadway musicals. Rodgers was also the first person to win the top show business awards in music, television, film, and Broadway (Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, and Tony). With his collaborators Lorenz Hart and later with Oscar Hammerstein II, Rodgers produced some of the most successful musicals in Broadway history. His works include Babes in Arms, Pal Joey, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music.
Join Music Theater Works to celebrate one of the most significant American composers of the 20th century.
