<p>The Lyrics and Lyricists: Preludes series continues this week with a show celebrating the work of Richard Rodgers, Mary Rodgers and Adam Guettel. Which is why the show is called <a href="https://www.92y.org/lyrics#rodgers-guettel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Rodgers, Rodgers and Guettel</em>: <em>Statues and Stories</em></a>. The program begins streaming on November 23rd at 7:00 PM EST/4:00 PM PST.</p>



<p>If you haven&#8217;t  seen the previous episodes in this series, here&#8217;s what to expect: a combination of narration, song and music performances and possibly the introduction of biographical material in the form of excerpts from letters, interviews and biographical sources.</p>



<p>Richard Rodgers probably needs no introduction. He is the composer of such musicals as <em>Babes in Arms</em>, <em>Carousel</em>, <em>The King and I</em>, <em>Oklahoma!</em>, <em>On Your Toes</em>, <em>Pal Joey</em>, <em>The Sound of Music</em> and <em>South Pacific</em>. (His collaborators being Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II.)</p>



<p>Rodgers was the first person to become an EGOT &#8211; winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award. He also won the Pulitzer Prize for <em>South Pacific</em>.</p>



<p>His daughter, Mary, was also a composer. She is best known  for the musical <em>Once Upon a Mattress</em>. She contributed to several other musicals and shows including <em>Working</em> and <em>The Madwoman of Central Park West</em>. She was also a children&#8217;s novelist. Her best-known book (which was turned into a movie three times &#8211; one for television) is <em>Freaky Friday</em>.</p>



<p>Her son and Richard Rodgers&#8217; grandson is composer Adam Guettel. He is the Tony Award-winning composer of the musical <em>The Light in the Piazza</em>. His other musicals/projects include <em>Floyd Collins</em> and <em>Myths and Hymns</em>.</p>



<p>In 2018, Audra McDonald released a new song by Guettel entitled <em>March Is a Windy Month</em> from an upcoming musical based on the Danny Boyle film <em>Millions</em>. No recent updates on that project have been announced.</p>



<p>My personal favorite musical of the 21st century, so far, is <em>The Light in the Piazza</em>. Guettel wrote extraordinary beautiful music and arguably the most romantic score since <em>West Side Story</em>.</p>



<p>Performing in <em>Rodgers, Rodgers and Guettel: Statues and Stories</em> are Allison Blackwell (<em>Pretty Woman: The Musical</em>),&nbsp;Nikki Renée Daniels (the postponed revival of <em>Company</em>),&nbsp;soprano Katherine Henly,&nbsp;<a href="https://culturalattache.co/2019/03/14/telly-leung-can-sing-happy-and-healthy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telly Leung</a> (<em>Aladdin</em>),&nbsp;Julia Murney (<em>Wicked</em>),&nbsp;Zachary Noah Piser (<em>Dear Evan Hansen</em>),&nbsp;Pearl Sun (<em>Come From Away</em>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mariand Torres&nbsp;(<em>In Transit</em>).</p>



<p>The show is narrated by Beth Malone (<em>Angels in America</em>). Paul Masse is the Artistic Director and pianist.</p>



<p>Tickets are $15 to watch <em>Rodgers, Rodgers and Guettel:</em> <em>Statues and Stories</em>. The show will remain available for viewing through December 23rd.</p>
