Show Summary:

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 duo’s final collaboration, The Sound of Music, took Broadway by storm, this new R&H musical opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices and earning two Tony Nominations including Best Musical. The brilliant invention lavished on this revue, with innovative musical arrangements, including a sultry Andrews Sister-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,’ a swingin’ “Honeybun: worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy “Kansas City,” prove how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
