Something Wonderful: Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway Musicals. by Tudd S. Purdum. "A well-paced portrait of the duo, who were temperamentally (and otherwise) quite different from one another, but who managed to work together to revolutionize broadway and bring us such classics as Carousel, South Pacific, Oklahoma and - of course - The Sound of Music. The book kept me really entertained. I would have gotten through it sooner had I not stopped reading constantly to watch the performances on YouTube or listen to the songs on Spotify."
