By Sarah Wooley. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein had one of the most famous musical partnerships of the 20th century – creating THE SOUND OF MUSIC and OKLAHOMA! But before Rodgers and Hammerstein, there was Rodgers and Hart. With a string of hits to their name, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart were the kings of Broadway. But by Christmas 1940, the strain was starting to show. Award-winning writer Sarah Wooley (VICTIM, THE NATIONAL) tells the tumultuous story of the unravelling of one partnership and the birth of another.
