{"product_id":"richard-rodgers-geoffrey-holden-block-9780300217605","title":"Richard Rodgers","description":"Richard Rodgers was an icon of the musical theater, a prolific composer whose career spanned six decades and who wrote more than a thousand songs and forty shows for the American stage. In this absorbing book, Geoffrey Block examines Rodgers's entire career, providing rich details about the creation, staging, and critical reception of some of his most popular musicals. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Holden Block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300217609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300217605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.74d","brand":"Geoffrey Holden Block","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598224716031,"sku":"9780300217605","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e525b3d-1234-4f8f-b22b-47737482a0cf.jpg?v=1702381297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-rodgers-geoffrey-holden-block-9780300217605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
