This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of both Leonard Bernstein and Alan Jay Lerner, who individually would be associated with some of the most celebrated musical theater works of the last century from Candide and West Side Story to My Fair Lady and Camelot. It is also the 75th anniversary of the original groundbreaking 1943 production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! We will pay tribute to all 3 of these anniversaries with special new commentary and important songs and musical scenes associated with each of them. Come learn, listen, and enjoy!
