Leading NYC arts education nonprofi
t Inside Broadway (executive
director, Michael Presser) recently
begun its city-wide school tour of All
Kinds of People, a special musical revue
developed in collaboration with
The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization,
designed to promote tolerance
and acceptance using the words
and lyrics of the great Oscar Hammerstein
II.
The tour will play about 90 performances
over the course of 10 weeks
at over 50 NYC public schools in the
Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
Other themes running through
his works promote important messages
of human tolerance and cultural
understanding; Oscar Hammerstein
II believed in celebrating
your uniqueness and differences -
not shying away from them.
This message still remains true
today and these themes were represented
through his show stopping
numbers like ‘Ol’ Man River’ from his
1927 masterpiece Show Boat, ‘Climb
Every Mountain’ from the beloved
The Sound of Music, and ‘You’ve Got
to Be Carefully Taught’ from his Pulitzer
Prize-winning South Pacifi c.
