Few writing teams popularized musical theatre more than Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein; in fact, they transformed the genre and brought it to mainstream audiences with works such as Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King And I and The Sound Of Music, among others.
The Complete Broadway Musicals, containing 12 CDs, comprised their classic shows with performances by legendary Broadway stars such as Julie Andrews, Kaye Ballard, Laura Benanti, Yul Brynner, Liz Callaway, Christine Ebersole, Ezio Pinza, Mary Martin, Audra McDonald, Jerry Orbach, John Raitt and Patrick Wilson, among others.
The 12 CDs are packaged in sleeves with the original cover art. There is also a lavish 12" x 12" 100-page book with essays on each show, rare production and behind-the-scenes photos, liner notes by Ted Chapin (President of the Rodgers & Hammerstein office in New York), biographies and more.
