Rodgers & Hammerstein celebration in Eastbourne

Spokeswoman Laura May Sivers said: “The show will feature a selection of songs from some of their hit shows which are as popular today as they were when they were first performed nearly 80 years ago. In fact, last year a Rodgers & Hammerstein classic You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel became a song of hope during the pandemic when it became a number-one hit for Michael Ball and Captain Sir Tom Moore. ”

Dean Caston, who created the show, will be telling the story of how Rodgers and Hammerstein met and recalling stories about some shows and stars that appeared in them including Mary Martin and Yul Brynner.”
