Popis: Oscar Hammerstein continues to correspond with his son aboard a navy ship in the South Pacific as World War II reaches its conclusion. Paul Robeson wants Rodgers and Hammerstein to write him an operetta of Othello. Carousel opens and is a hit. There is detailed discussion of the running of Highland Farm. Rodgers and Hammerstein produce the Anita Loos play Happy Birthday, and the Irving Berlin musical Annie Get Your Gun. Hammerstein reports movingly of Jerome Kern’s death. Josh Logan gives advice on Allegro from out of town.
