Synopsis: Richard Rodgers was one of the most successful, prolific composers of the last century. His songs are as well known today as when he created them more than 50 years ago, for musicals such as South Pacific, Pal Joey, Carousel, the King and I, The Sound of Music and Oklahoma! At 16 he began a long working relationship with the brilliant but tormented lyricist Lorenz hart and then went on to collaborate for another 20 years with the sturdier and equally inspired Oscar Hammerstein II. Late in his extraordinary life, Rodgers wrote what has sine become a celebrated autobiography and a classic of the theatre world, Musical Stages.
