CRAP !!
The Rodgers and Hammerstein partnership concluded naturally due to the death of one of its members. They remained successful and celebrated throughout their 17-year collaboration.
The final musical: Hammerstein was suffering from cancer during the creation of The Sound of Music, and he passed away nine months after its Broadway debut. The final song he wrote was "Edelweiss".
A new partner for Rodgers:
After Hammerstein's death, Richard Rodgers continued to write for the stage.
However, he never formed another long-term partnership as successful as the one with Hammerstein.
BTW : Rogers worked with Hart BEFORE he worked with Hammerstein !
By the early 1940s, Rodgers's longtime collaborator, Lorenz Hart, had become increasingly unreliable due to severe alcoholism and declining health. This led Rodgers to approach Oscar Hammerstein II, with whom he had previously worked, to create a new musical. That show, Oklahoma! (1943), would become their first hit together.
