They are most famous for creating a string of immensely popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, during what is considered the golden age of the medium. Five of their shows were outstanding successes: Oklahoma! (their first collaboration); Carousel; South Pacific; The King and I; and The Sound of Music. Among the many accolades they garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards; fifteen Academy Awards; two Pulitzer Prizes; two Grammy Awards; and two Emmy Awards.

The pair wrote nine musicals together and collaborated on a musical film, State Fair. As producers, they also brought Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun to the stage [1], leaving an indelible mark on American musical theater and a legacy of successes that has never been equaled. Their joint efforts continued over a twenty-year period, until Hammerstein's death in 1960.

My mom was a US Navy nurse, in 1959 and 1960, just before Viet Nam. She can swear like a sailor and has a voice that can make a corpsman jump. She joined the Navy to pay for college and to see the world. She paid for college and went all the way from Arlington, VA to Bethesda, MD. She could literally still live at home. Even now, this is a fairly easy commute. The doctors and officers would get to the front desk and get to see the nurses' schedules before the nurses did. They would then ask them out on dates and when the nurse would say, "Well, I have to check my schedule first," the doctor/officer would answer, "Oh, you're free. I've already checked your schedule." My mom organized a group of nurses who went to the hospital administration and requested that no one else see their schedule before they did. Bethesda Naval Hospital complied with their request.

"There Is Nothing Like a Dame" is sung in Act One, Scene 3 of South Pacific, AFTER: "Dites-Moi Pourquoi," "A Cockeyed Optimist," (Double Soliloquies), "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Bloody Mary Is the Girl I Love." So it's actually the fifth (or sixth) musical number. R&H had revolutionized the American musical several years earlier when they opened "Oklahoma!" with Curley singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and beginning it off-stage. Here they put the relationship between Nellie and Emile front and center from the start -- and that's where the show will end as well.

@tiffsaver

These two O&H musicals are so entirely different that in no way can they be compared. I was speaking specifically of "South Pacific," NOT "Oklahoma."

@oliverbrownlow5615

How to sing a dirty song about not getting laid and make it sound wholesome enough that high school drama departments can put it on. I first saw this song performed as a 12 year old middle Schooler when the senior high kids came to my school to put on a performance of South Pacific, the fall musical that year. The storyline is quite risqué… Not only this number but there’s the small issue of Bloody Mary pimping out her underage daughter to the white lieutenant…and the May-September romance between Nurse Forbush and the broodingly Handsome much older “plantation” owner. The music and lyrics by Rogers and Hammerstein is brilliant beyond compare, wonderfully encapsulating this complex and very of its time story into a timeless classic. If I’m not mistaken, this was the duo’s personal favorite of their collaborations. I have not seen it advertised for the live stage in recent years and I wonder what today’s cancel culture bodes for its fate. Watching this number makes me want to revisit the whole film.

being in this beautiful island paradise! In 1979, Mitzi was performing at the Westbury Music Fair & I was
able to see her & hold her hand, while she sang a song! She was & still is a beautiful & talented performer!

Memories. My senior year in high school our quartet sang two numbers at the region competition as part of the Literary Meet. One of the numbers we sang was this one: "Nothing Like a Dame". We were really good but came in 2nd place so we did not go on to the state finals. It was so much fun singing with those other three guys. I sang the bass part, by the way. PS: My junior year as part of the quartet placed 1st in our region, so we did go to state finals at UGA in Athens. We came in 2nd in the entire state and still managed to get a nice trophy for each of us. But the experience and memories were worth so much more. Cheers music lovers

Amazing sound for 1958. Originally recorded and mixed for the 6 - channel surround sound system. The engineer earned the Academy Award for Best Sound, and won it again four more times for other musicals.

Released 62 years ago but look like it was filmed yesterday in HD. Amazing.

@classic_movie_trailers

The original filming was on 65mm film converted to 70mm projection prints with 6 track Magnetic Sound - nothing digital comes close to that experience in a theatre! That is why this looks amazing - it is because the source is incredible.

Four different orchestrators are credited for South Pacific (1958) -- Edward B. Powell, Bernard Mayers, Peter King, and longtime Rodgers & Hammerstein orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett. I don't know if anybody knows who did what specifically.

Connery was never a "body builder." He was in the chorus of a touring company of SOUTH PACIFIC in the UK. He purposely did not want to perform in the London company.

@@mylesgarcia4625 Connery began bodybuilding at the age of 18, and from 1951 trained heavily with Ellington, a former gym instructor in the British Army. He apparently did at one stage enter the Mr. Universe contest. And yes, he was in local UK based performances of South Pacific , playing one of the US sailors... I never said he performed with the London company.

It was much worse for the fighting men of the South Pacific in WWII awk, women in a dress in the military even now, don't exist. So men really miss a real woman when they are in combat still.
But mixed military roles have sadly lead to a lot of sexual personnel problems too.

@davidmehnert6206

When I see this, I think back on what it meant for US servicemen in WWII just to get a new record by a popular female singer, and let it play over and over in their minds. The wartime nickname given to singer Peggy Lee was “Sex on Wax”... While I don’t know if this 1969 clip does full justice to the burlesque of the wartime imagination, I think it goes some distance in helping to understand her enduring popularity. She could do so much with the vocal equivalent of simply flicking an ash....

He did asleep in the deep where he gets really low. But his best singing work might be his album story of Hymm & song" He does several great gospel songs on it including Old Rugged Cross & he tells the story of how the song came about. Fantastic album. He also did more Disney voices then anyone in history & was a great narrator for Disney.
