CAROUSEL was voted "Best musical of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine. Filmed on location in a beautiful New England seaside village, CAROUSEL stars Gordon MacRae as Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carny man who falls in love with a millworker (Shirley Jones). Tragedy strikes these star-crossed lovers, though, and their journey is not easy. How Billy makes his way to Heaven and back again, providing love and solace to his wife and daughter, and redemption for himself, is the story of one of the most unique and powerfully uplifting musicals ever written. With a score that includes "If I Loved You," and "You'll Never Walk Alone," little wonder that it was composer Richard Rodgers' personal favorite.

Winner of six Academy Awards® including Yul Brynner's performance, THE KING AND I features an unforgettable Rodgers and Hammerstein score and brilliant choreography by Jerome Robbins. It tells the true story of an Englishwoman, Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), who comes to Siam in the 1860s as schoolteacher to the royal court. Though she soon finds herself at odds with the stubborn monarch (Brynner), over time, Anna and the King stop trying to change each other and begin to understand one another.

Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900s, the joyous celebration of frontier life - OKLAHOMA! - is a story of tender romance and dangerous passion. Gordon MacRae is Curly, a sunny, good-natured ranch hand, and Shirley Jones is Laurey Williams, the farmer's daughter he loves. Rod Steiger is the menacing Jud, who tries to come between them. The first Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration, this Academy Award® winner features the classic songs "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top" and "People Will Say We're In Love."

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Academy Award® winning SOUTH PACIFIC is a towering musical masterpiece and the tender love story of a naive young Navy nurse (Mitzi Gaynor) and an older French plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi) on a U.S. occupied South Sea island. The breathtaking score is highlighted by some of the most romantic songs ever written, including "Some Enchanted Evening," "There is Nothin' Like a Dame," "Younger Than Springtime" and more. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize® winning novel "Tales Of The South Pacific," SOUTH PACIFIC ranks among the most celebrated of Rodgers and Hammerstein's acclaimed musicals.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's only score written expressly for the screen, STATE FAIR follows an Iowa family's adventures at the fair and stars Jeanne Crain, Dana Andrews and Dick Haymes in the original 1945 version of the movie and Pat Boone, Bobby Darin and Ann-Marget in the 1962 remake.

Share the magical, heartwarming true-life story that has become the most popular family film of all time - Rodgers and Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Julie Andrews lights up the screen as Maria, the spirited young woman who leaves the convent to become governess to the seven children of Captain von Trapp, an autocratic widower whose strict household rules leave no room for music and merriment.
