Oscar Hammerstein

Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein  II

In het leven van de advocaat Oscar Hammerstein zijn drie data van veel belang. Wanneer hij in juli 1988 te horen krijgt dat hij besmet is met het hiv-virus toentertijd een doodvonnis stort zijn wereld in. Hij gaat gezond leven, veel sporten en zet alles op alles om te overleven.In de lente van 1994 wordt hij opgepakt wegens vermeende betrokkenheid bij het witwassen van crimineel geld en wordt zijn overlevingsinstinct voor een tweede maal aangesproken. Zes weken lang zit hij vast. Uiteindelijk wordt hij op alle punten vrijgesproken.De moord op zijn vriend Pim Fortuyn is het derde ijkpunt in Hammersteins leven. De dader is veroordeeld maar de littekens ervan zijn bij de advocaat én in onze samenleving nog zichtbaar. In Ik heb de tijd vertelt Hammerstein openhartig over zijn familie en vrienden, zijn Leidse studententijd en zijn carrière als advocaat aan de hand van deze drie levensbepalende gebeurtenissen.

Ik heb de tijd

Songs of Oscar Hammerstein II

Richard Rodgers

(Vocal Selections). Six vocal selections from Rodgers & Hammerstein's third musical, including: Come Home * A Fellow Needs a Girl * The Gentleman Is a Dope * Money Isn't Ev'rything * So Far * You Are Never Away.

Allegro

Me and Juliet

Rodgers and Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land. ﻿Oklahoma! opened at the St. James Theatre on Broadway on March 31, 1943. At that time, the longest-running show in Broadway history had run for three years. Oklahoma! surpassed that record by two more years, running for a marathon 2,212 performances. The US national tour played for an unprecedented ten and a half years, visiting every single state and playing before a combined audience of more than 10 million people. In 1947, Oklahoma! opened at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, where it ran for 1,548 performances, the longest run of any show up to that time in the 267-year history of the theatre. In 1953, the Oklahoma State Legislature named "Oklahoma" the official state song. In 1955, the motion picture version of Oklahoma!, starring Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones and produced by Rodgers and Hammerstein, was released to great success.
