Bernstein and Sondheim were brilliant but so were Rodgers and Hammerstein. Different times . For me Showboat by kern and Hammerstein was the musical that changed musical theatre the most. Slavery, mixed race, and some wonderful tunes.
Sorry to correct but Howard Keel has nothing to do with when you walk….
The musical it is from was Carousel first on the stage then on a film and on all occasions is sung by a female soprano with a chorus.
Howard Keel played in the stage version of Oklahoma but not in the film and as you walk...
