But isn't TSOM considered the least of their successful musicals? - not that that's relevant to the OP's question/dilemma.

I thought it was the most beloved and revered?

^^^That would be the film. The stage show is is a popular classic and a critical whipping boy. Hammerstein didn't write the book, as he did for the more highly regarded R&H shows.

Zosia Mamet's grandfather wrote the book.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Good to know, Goth, good to know.
What is scary to contemplate is that SOM was originally intended to be a straight play about the Von Trapps.
R&H were asked by their friend Mary Martin to write a couple of songs for the family to sing (since they were entertainers in real life). The men ended up writing an entire score.
Let's all take a moment to shudder at the thought of SOM without the music!
