Music by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
Concept by Richard Lewine and John Fearnley
From their first hit song in 1925 through to their final show-stopper in 1943, the prolific team of Rodgers and Hart were continually redefining the musical theatre with their wit, freshness and intelligence. In this rousing pastiche, the first act sets the stage for romance, whilst the second act is comprised of their more satiric gems. The few lines of narration highlight their careers, but it is the songs that explain their success. This revue has over thirty of the very best known songs from this celebrated songwriting team, including the evergreens "Johnny One Note", "I Didn't Know What Time It Was", "There's A Small Hotel", "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "Falling In Love With Love".

In the words of Irving Berlin, "Tuneful and tasty, schmaltzy and smart - music by Rodgers, lyrics by Hart!"

Cast: 3 men, 3 women (cast may be adjusted to suit individual requirements)
