Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II began collaborating with 1943’s Oklahoma!, a landmark musical that is considered the genre’s first to fully integrate the book, lyrics, and choreography as agents of forwarding the plot. They would go on to dominate Broadway over the next two decades as both a writing and producing team, writing a string of classic musicals including Carousel, South Pacific, Allegro, The King and I, and The Sound of Music; and producing I Remember Mama and Annie Get Your Gun.
