Rodgers and Hart: A Celebration

From their first hit song in 1925 through their final show-stopper in 1943, the prolific team of Rodgers & Hart was continually redefining the musical theatre with its wit, freshness and intelligence. In this rousing pastiche, the first act sets the stage for romance while the second act is comprised of their more satiric gems. The brief narration highlights the Rodgers & Hart story, but it’s the songs that explain their success. Perhaps Irving Berlin summed it up best: “Tuneful and tasty, schmaltzy and smart-music by Rodgers, lyrics by Hart.”
