	Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Oscar Hammerstein II \| PBS
		Oscar Clendenning Hammerstein II (1895-1960) was perhaps the most influential lyricist and librettist of the American theater.
		Kern and Hammerstein had both been concerned with the "integrated musical," a musical in which the book, lyrics, and score all grow from a central idea and all contribute to the story line.
		Hammerstein had also read the play, and the two began work on the musical, tentatively titled "Away We Go!" Rodgers and Hammerstein worked toward the concept of the integrated musical, with Hammerstein writing most of the lyrics before Rodgers wrote the score, the reverse of the normal process.
