    ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
    After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

    Mary Martin OWNS this song. Here voice glides at one moment and bounces the next. Just listen to here on the phrase, I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string". Total enchantment. What a perfect musical gift to welcome spring 2024.

    Love Mary Martin in any character, she was the BEST Peter Pan! She was great singing Cloe Porter songs and loved Rogers and Hammerstein as those were the musicals that bought up American issues in a profound way, issues like racial bias, war, male chauvinism, women's rights and why they were held back by their fathers, husbands and enen their own mothers! I love "Showboat","Carousel" The King and I"South Pacific" "State Fair" Sound of Music".
    They made my life so much better as listening to the lyrics explained why adults were so buttoned up about it! I was so protected and trusting of everyone and slowly that disappeared and I built a wall of protection that grew with the lies told to me by my mother in law, and my husband who was drinking too much and running around trying out his friends wives...he was rather stupid and explained why I was wrong in not believing in him, truth is he was a big mistake!
