Rodgers Hammerstein

Rating:
Summary: A beatiful and fascinating book for those who love R&H
Review: I'm basing this review on the hardcover edition of this book.

This could have just been a coffee-table book with beautiful photos but a negligible text. Fortunately, someone had the excellent idea of asking Ethan Mordden to write the text.

The result is that a very informative, insightful, well-written text accompanies the beautiful photos.

If you love Rodgers and Hammerstein, you probably will get great pleasure from this book.

One tiny quibble, though: Mordden is wrong when he says that Hammerstein invented the lyric form used in "I Am Going to Like It Here."
