nineteenth century. From the studio in his Morristown , NJ home, Nast popularized the
symbols of theDemocratic (donkey) and Republican (elephant) parties that continue more
than a century later. Nash, a staunch Republican, illustrated his views of the presidential
campaigns for Harper’s Weekly. He supported the candidate he felt would best serve the
country.

Over Three decades after the duo’s final collaboration, The Sound of Music, took the world by storm, it was this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season, gaining wildly enthusiastic reviews. Rogers & Hammerstein probably never imagined Shall We Dance? as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer , nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? But with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrew Sisters-esque I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair, a swingin’ Honeybun and a jazzy Kansas City this exhilarating revue leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
