American Icon Ideas - Rogers and Hammerstein

Rogers and Hammerstein wrote many Tony award winning musical such as, Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, and The King and I. Many of their most famous work has been made into movies. The are said to be the greatest lyricist and composers of musical theater.I have loved The Sound of Music since the fourth grade, when me and my friends wrote down and memorized all the lyrics. I also know many of the songs from Cinderella because of the 1997 ABC movie, featuring Brandi, which I own on VHS. 
Rogers and Hammerstein are considered to have reinvented of the formula musical and made musical theater a significant American art form.
