I Married An Angel, by Rogers and Hart, is about a very eligible Budapest bachelor-banker who is too particular to marry just anyone and vows that the only suitable bride would be an angel. Lo and behold, a living, breathing angel flutters into his life (wings and all) and they marry. Because her honesty nearly wreaks her spouse’s business, she learns to employ the guile necessary to adapt to her mortal home. Joshua Logen was the director and George Ballachine, the choreographer. Songs include "Did You Ever Get Stung?," "I Married An Angel," "I’ll Tell The Man In The Street," and " Spring Is Here."
Book by Rodgers & Hart
Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart (Music and Lyrics) initially collaborated when both were students at Columbia University. Their breakthrough came with the 1925 Theatre Guild revue, The Garrick Gaities. Over the next five years, they wrote fifteen musicals for Broadway and the West End before relocating to Hollywood ,where they wrote several movie musicals. In 1935, they returned to Broadway, writing, among others, Dumbo, On Your Toes, Babes in Arms, I’d Rather Be Right, I Married An Angel, The Boys From Syracuse, Higher and Higher, Pal Joey, and By Jupiter. In 1943 Rodgers collaborated with Oscar Hammerstein II on Oklahoma! but resumed his partnership with Hart to revise their 1927 hit A Connecticut Yankee which opened less than a week before Lorenz Hart’s death. For the next two decades, Rodgers collaborated with Oscar Hammerstein on such treasures as Carousel, South Pacific, The King And I and The Sound of Music. After Hammerstein’s death in 1960, Rodgers continued to write for the musical stage; his fortieth and final Broadway musical, I Remember Mama, opened less than eight months before his death on December 30, 1979. In March of 1990, Richard Rodgers was awarded Broadway’s highest accolade when the 46th Street Theatre was renamed in his honor.
