Help me solve a bway musical mystery!!

I talked to my director today about next years show at my high school.
She won't tell us the show, but she says its by rodgers and hammerstein, written around the 50s, and has two words

so of course i ran to my broadway book and
I'm guessing either South Pacific or Damn Yankees

are there any other ones that fit into this category that you can think of?

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous

Well it's definitely not DAMN YANKEES.

SOUTH PACIFIC is probably it. I can't imagine your high school doing PIPE DREAM...

Don't we not know who killed him because Charles Dickens died before he finished the novel?


I think the audience just decides.

re: Help me solve a bway musical mystery!!

ehh, kinda way too easy of a clue in my opinion, I mean we're pretty sure it wouldn't be Pipe Dream, so that only leaves South Pacific. At least say it starts with S or something so then you could debate between South Pacific or Sound of Music.
