Spanning a 17-year partnership, their work is celebrated for seamlessly integrating drama, music, and dance, setting a new standard for the genre. Their groundbreaking first collaboration, "Oklahoma!", remains a classic, and their final work, "The Sound of Music," is forever immortalized by Julie Andrews' iconic film performance. With a combined total of 35 Tonys, 15 Oscars, two Pulitzers, two Grammys, and two Emmys, Rodgers & Hammerstein's impact on musical theater is unparalleled. Their timeless songs, such as "My Favorite Things" and "You'll Never Walk Alone," continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, solidifying their status as one of the most influential artistic duos of the 20th century.
