Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel, In Concert
Oscar Hammerstein
Rodgers & Hammerstein's Pipe Dream
by Oscar Hammerstein (Ii), Richard Rodgers, John Steinbeck
Synopsis
From the pages of Steinbeck, the drifters and dropouts along Cannery Row spring to life in this uncommon story of love and hope.
When Suzy, a homeless girl, is picked up for stealing food, she's taken in by Fauna, the big-hearted Madam of the Bear Flag Café (which is no café at all).
Here she meets Doc, a carefree marine biologist, and soon romance is in the air.
Rodgers & Hammerstein struck a new tone with Pipe Dream : warm and highly personal.
It illuminates Rodgers & Hammerstein’s benevolence for outcasts who are infinitely capable of every emotion and longing felt by the more fortunate members of society.
As sung by Doc at the top of the show, the soulful message is simple: “It takes all kinds of people to make up a world.”
Is there a better one?
