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’t seen the previous episodes in this series, here’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 – 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’s novelist. Her best-known book (which was turned into a movie three times – one for television) is <em>Freaky Friday</em>.</p> <p>Her son and Richard Rodgers’ 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>), Nikki Renée Daniels (the postponed revival of <em>Company</em>), soprano Katherine Henly, <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>), Julia Murney (<em>Wicked</em>), Zachary Noah Piser (<em>Dear Evan Hansen</em>), Pearl Sun (<em>Come From Away</em>) and Mariand Torres (<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> <p>Photo: Mary Rodgers (Photo by Friedman-Abeles/Courtesy New York Public Library)</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2020/11/23/rodgers-rodgers-and-guettel/">Rodgers, Rodgers and Guettel</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2020/11/23/rodgers-rodgers-and-guettel/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
