The show tells Richard Rodger’s life story. Covering his successful career two narrators tell of his partnership first of all with lyricist Lorenz Hart and later with Oscar Hammerstein. As his story unfolds the soloists and chorus sang some of the most popular songs from their musicals which ranged from Pal Joey to The Sound of Music. The second act covering the latter part of Rodgers productive life proved to be the most popular and the songs from South Pacific and The Sound of Music were much appreciated by the audience. All the soloists, chorus and band members were very talented and sang with obvious enthusiasm which was infectious and I for one was silently singing for most of the show. 4/5 |
