These, by the team who redefined the musical, are their earliest works: 1942-1953. Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, and The King and I, enough said. The other two are somewhat obscure. Allegro I am wondering why they bothered. No real story, no identifiable songs. The last, Me and Juliet, has one redeeming feature: the song No Other Love. Set to the sweeping tango of Richard Rodgers' music from Victory At Sea (then titled Under the Southern Cross), it gained great popularity in the mid-1950s.
