Over three decades after the duo's final collaboration, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, took the world by storm, it was this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season, gaining wildly enthusiastic reviews. Rodgers & Hammerstein probably never imagined "Shall We Dance?" as a comic pas de deux, 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 with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrew Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair", a swingin' "Honeybun" and a jazzy "Kansas City", this exhilarating revue leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
