80 years ago today, Rodgers & Hammerstein's partnership was announced by The Theatre Guild in The New York Times. Little did they know their works would change musical theatre forever — from their first collaboration, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma, to their last: The Sound of Music. ❤️ The song "Edelweiss" would be their final collaboration before Oscar Hammerstein II passed away in 1960, just after The Sound of Music debuted on Broadway. #RH80 | The Sound Of Music

On this day in 1959, the song “Edelweiss” was completed by Oscar Hammerstein II and went into the show during its pre-Broadway tryout. It was the lyricist’s 1,589th and last lyric, written for THE SOUND OF MUSIC.🎵 Watch the full "Edelweiss" lyric video here: https://bit.ly/3p7R6nh | The Sound Of Music

Our version of The Sound of Music’s “Edelweiss” was by far the most popular moment during our first-ever public YouTube Livestream earlier this year. YouTube’s insights show which parts of a stream get re-watched the most, and “Edelweiss” was a clear winner! It was unexpected, but it inspired us to film a proper Duo Session for the song, which we’re excited to share with you today! ☺️ This Duo Session has been available for MLT Club members for a while now but we also wanted to post it publicly
