Description
This is a twin biography of two major players in the musical theatre, Oscar Hammerstein and Alan Jay Lerner. Between them, they created the lyrics to "Show Boat", "South Pacific" and "My Fair Lady". Hammerstein's roller-coaster life with its elation and depression is presented alongside Lerner's neurotic, drug-ridden existence with eight marriages.
