Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most famous showstopper set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre, featuring such classic songs as Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, Surrey with the Fringe on the Top, and Kansas City. The high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background as they sing and dance their love story.
