”Demystifying Oscar” - A fireside Chat with William Hammerstein

 

Oscar Hammerstein wrote some of the most popular musicals of all time, including Show Boat, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Now, his grandson William Hammerstein helps to demystify the source of his “genius,” by looking at his formative years. From attending opera at his grandfather Oscar I’s opera houses, through his father Willie, the most successful Vaudeville manager of his time and Uncle Arthur, who gave him his first jobs working with some of the finest lyricists and composers of the 1920’s. Talk includes personal family stories and unpublished family photos. A Q&A session to follow the 60 minute talk with attendees.
