A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A Musical Revue in 2 acts: Conceived by Waiter Bobbie. Music by Richard Rodgers; lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Musical Arrangements by Fred Wells. Originally produced Off-Broadway as a nightclub revue 2 March-10 April 1993 at Rainbow and Stars for 60 performances. Originally produced by Roundabout Theatre Company at the Criterion Center Stage Right, New York; 17 November, 1993 (52 perfs) Over three decades after the duo's final collaboration, The Sound Of Music, took the world by storm, it was this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season, gaining wildly enthusiastic reviews. Rodgers & Hammerstein probably never imagined Shall We Dance? as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? but with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrew Sisters-esque I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair, a swingin' Honeybun and a jazzy Kansas City this exhilarating revue leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
