Fans of Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein will be thrilled to see him brought back from the great beyond this week as Theatre Row stages Doreen Ms. Taylor’s new musical revue Sincerely, Oscar.
Ms. Taylor (Phantom of the Opera) teams up with Azudi Onyejekwe (The Great Comet) to showcase more than 30 of Mr. Hammerstein’s biggest hits from The Sound of Music, Show Boat, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, and more. And thanks to the state-of-the-art 3D technology IceMagic, Mr. Hammerstein himself pops up between songs via hologram to share the stories behind the shows, reconstructed through personal correspondence, interviews and memoirs provided by Mr. Hammerstein’s grandson, Will.
