Overview"Block traces Rodgers's musical education, early work, and the development of his musical and dramatic language. He focuses on two shows by Rodgers and Hart (""A Connecticut Yankee"" and ""The Boys from Syracuse"") and two by Rodgers and Hammerstein (""South Pacific"" and ""Cinderella""), offering new insights into each one. He concludes with the first serious look at the five neglected and often maligned musicals that Rodgers composed in the 1960s and 1970s, after the death of Hammerstein."
