They created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, initiating what is considered the "golden age" of musical theatre. Five of their Broadway shows, "Oklahoma!", "Carousel", "South Pacific", "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music", were outstanding successes, as was the television broadcast of "Cinderella". Of the other four that the team produced on Broadway during their lifetimes, "Flower Drum Song" was well-received, and none was an outright flop. Most of their shows have received frequent revivals around the world, both professional and amateur. Among the many accolades their shows (and film versions) garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and two Grammy Awards. - The King and I is a musical, the fifth by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and dramatist Oscar Hammerstein II.

The musical's plot relates the experiences of Anna, a British schoolteacher hired as part of the King's drive to modernize his country. The relationship between the King and Anna is marked by conflict through much of the piece, as well as by a love that neither can admit.

She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis.

When Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the lyric for this song , he followed the lead from a line in the dialogue that Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse wrote in their script , describing Maria 's flighty ways in the Abbey . In particular , he was taken by the detail of her wearing curlers in her hair under her wimple . Hammerstein asked if he could incorporate their dialogue into the song , and they allowed him to do so because '' if you tell a story in a song , it 's so much better . '' When writing the lyric , Hammerstein knew he needed adjectives for the nuns to describe Maria . He admitted that his vocabulary was never big , but the simple adjectives he used to describe Maria 's character proved a success . - How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? is a British reality television talent show that documented the search for an undiscovered musical theatre performer to play the role of Maria von Trapp in the 2006 Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Ian stage production of "The Sound of Music". - Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein II (July 12, 1895 August 23, 1960) was an American librettist, theatrical producer, and (usually uncredited) theatre director of musicals for almost forty years.

Several of his musicals have run for more than a decade both in the West End and on Broadway. He has composed 13 musicals, a song cycle, a set of variations, two film scores, and a Latin Requiem Mass. Several of his songs have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals, notably "The Music of the Night" from "The Phantom of the Opera", "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "You Must Love Me" from "Evita", "Any Dream Will Do" from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Memory" from "Cats". In 2001 the "New York Times" referred to him as "the most commercially successful composer in history". Ranked the "fifth most powerful person in British culture" by "The Telegraph" in 2008, the lyricist Don Black stated "Andrew more or less single-handedly reinvented the musical." - Oklahoma! is the first musical written by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical is based on Lynn Riggs' 1931 play, "Green Grow the Lilacs". Set in Oklahoma Territory outside the town of Claremore in 1906, it tells the story of cowboy Curly McLain and his romance with farm girl Laurey Williams. A secondary romance concerns cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancee, Ado Annie. - "Do-Re-Mi" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music". Within the story, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the Von Trapp children who learn to sing for the first time, even though their father disallowed frivolity after their mother's death. Each syllable of the musical solfege system appears in the song's lyrics, sung on the pitch it names. Rodgers was helped in its creation by long-time arranger Trude Rittmann who devised the extended vocal sequence in the song. According to assistant conductor Peter Howard, the heart of the number in which Maria assigns a musical tone to each child, like so many Swiss bell ringers was devised in rehearsal by Rittmann (who was credited for choral arrangements) and choreographer Joe Layton. The fourteen note and tune lyric 'when you know the notes to sing...' were provided by Rodgers and Hammerstein; the rest, apparently, came from Rittmann. Howard: 'Rodgers allowed her to do whatever she liked. When we started doing the staging of it, Joe took over. He asked Trude for certain parts to be repeated, certain embellishments.'
