The PLAY was written and produced by the (Tolerance Twins) Dick Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, who seemed to gravitate to offbeat and controversial plot lines- for example the admixture of studied ugliness in (Oklahoma), the Race-Mixing angle in South Pacific, and so on. The tale was inspired in part by the factual Von Trapp family but the play, as usual took some liberties with the facts as artistic license., Oddly a road company variant- identical in script, songs, characters, bore the different title-though very descriptive, (One Family Sings). I saw this in Williamsport, Pa. in l962 and it turned me off like a dead battery. so called Musical comedy had much music but almost negatory comedy touches.
