The period from the early ’40s to the late ’60s is generally considered to be the Golden Age of the Broadway musical. In previous classes we have covered the work of Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter. This series of classes will feature the work of Rodgers and Hammerstein. The first class will cover the work of each of them before they teamed up in 1943 for “Oklahoma!,” when they worked independently with Sigmund Romberg, Jerome Kern, and Lorenz Hart. The second and third classes will cover the shows they created together. The songs from these shows have become iconic, and you will certainly be delighted by the sound of their music!
