About the Author

Rogers was born in Florence, Italy, trained as an architect in London and the U.S. He serves as chairman of the National Tenant's Resource Center and the Architecture Foundation in the U.K.

Richard Rodgers (composer 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (librettist/lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Their first musical, "Oklahoma!, " was also the first of a new genre, the musical play, blending Rodgers' sophisticated style of musical comedy with Hammerstein's innovations in opera. "Oklahoma!" was followed by" Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, " and "The Sound of Music, " among others. Collectively the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals earned thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes, two Grammy Awards, and an Emmy Award.
