Simcha with Simone
"The Simone Vitale Band is an assurance of a great
evening... One of the hottest bands in town."
Danny Raskin, Jewish News
"Royal Oak band leader extraordinaire Simone Vitale..."
Bob Talbert, Detroit Free Press
from the day we began discussing the
show," Rodgers said. But subsequent
productions found more sober or
somber melodies from Rodgers, who
suffered from depression, excessive
drinking and hypochondria. Still,
Rodgers' outpouring of music seemed
little affected.
By the time The King and I opened
on March 29, 1951, with Gertrude
Lawrence as Anna the schoolteacher
and Yul Brynner as the king of Siam,
the critics were calling O&H "bril-
liant" and "inspired." The movie ver-
sion, released in June 1956, was easily
the best of Rodgers' musical films, in
part because of Deborah. Kerr's perfor-
mance, says the author. With this
show Rodgers and Hammerstein had
reached the epogee of their careers.
In a jointly written article about life
in the theater, the partners used an
analogy: "As a man is kept alive by the
flow of blood through his circulatory
system, so is the theater kept alive by
the flow of audiences through its
aisles. The heart that pumps this flow
and keeps it constant is the dedicated
group of playwrights, composers, pro-
ducers ...whose own stage-struck
hearts belong to the theater."
Richard Rodgers and Oscar
Hammerstein were two such hearts.
