These remarkable talents produced some of the era’s most memorable songs, including “Manhattan,” “Blue Moon” and “My Funny Valentine.”The program will also feature extended medleys from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, including South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music. As usual, Dr. Kleefield will provide commentary on the lives of these extraordinary creative talents and their musical creations.
