Well, i once met this woman, who inspired me to pursue my dreams for writing musicals.
It's Hammerstein.
For the same reason Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the poem "Climb Every Mountain." It's a song lyric, intended to be performed as a song during a theatrical performance. In Shakespeare's case, this is As You Like It; in Hammerstein's, The Sound of Music.
Rodgers did not write "Cinderella." The musical adaptation of "Cinderella," with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, premiered on television in 1957. It was later adapted for the stage and has become a classic in musical theater.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the musical Allegro in 1947. Allegro opened on Broadway that year in October. After this musical they continued to make more successful musicals.
