Description: This is a rare autographed playbill from "A CELEBRATION OF RICHARD RODGERS" held at the Imperial Theatre in New York City on March 26th, 1972 ..... In the words of Brooks Atkinson, "Richard Rogers had the most constructive influence on the transformation of the musical stage out of cant into art. Having worked with two lyricists who had completely different styles - LARY HART and OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II - he had two careers, one brisk and cynical in the Broadway manner, the other humane and compassionate." ..... The evening united a number of the most important and influential figures of the Broadway stage and this program was autographed by many of them. In addition to RICHARD RODGERS, the program was signed by composer LEONARD BERNSTEIN, MARY MARTIN, AGNES de MILLE, ANNA SOSENKO, DONALD SADDLER, CELESTE HOLM, JAN CLAYTON, HELEN GALLAGHER, RICHARD KILEY, GORDON MacRAE, JAMES MICHENER (author of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific"), WILLIAM HAMMERSTEIN II and twelve others .....

The eight page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes, a chronology of Richard Rodgers' credits and a tribute to the composer written by Brooks Atkinson .....
