A Grand Night for Singing

Written by Walter Bobbie
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Directed by Gordon Gallatin

Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate review, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon. Over three decades after the duo's final collaboration, this new R&H; musical opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

Our founding fathers probably never imagined "Shall We Dance?" as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" But that's precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this new revue, with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," a swinging "Honeybun" worthy of the Modernaires, a jazzy "Kansas City" which leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H; remain.
