WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in Bavaria and Munich, Music in the Air was the transitional piece in Oscar Hammerstein II's career between his early operettas and his modern musicals written with Richard Rodgers. Although it retains an operetta-like setting, it is a musically and emotionally sophisticated romance, combining wit, elegance and melancholy in a manner reminiscent of the films of Ernst Lubitsch. It tells of an aging rural music teacher, his naively charming daughter and their misadventures trying to break into the cynical, world-weary theatre scene in the big city. Songs include "I've Told Ev'ry Little Star" and "The Song Is You".

Simply put, this is a period piece that barely belonged in its own time and certainly would find no commercial favor today.
Yet its lush and melodic score, and its exquisite historic (and hysterical) teetering between the old musical theater conventions of operetta and the new emerging forms of musical comedy, make for a special night of theater for those who c[...]
