Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon which opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical. Rodgers & Hammerstein probably never imagined Shall We Dance? as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, How do you solve a problem like Maria? But that's precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this revue, with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair, a swingin' Honeybun worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy Kansas City which leaves no question about how terrifically up to date the remarkable songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein remain as they entertain theater-goers of all generations.
