Shirley Jones and Howard Keel (Hybrid) Presented by Richard Knox

Shirley Jones and Howard Keel (Hybrid) Presented by Richard Knox In-Person

Two of the greatest talents that enthralled audiences of film musicals in the 1950’s were Shirley Jones and Howard Keel. Prior to her outstanding dramatic work in films such as “Elmer Gantry” (for which she won a supporting actress Oscar) and her beloved television role as the matriarch of “The Partridge Family”, Shirley appeared as the female lead in the film version of two of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatest shows, “Oklahoma” and “Carousel”. Meanwhile Howard was starring in such outstanding film musicals as “Annie Get Your Gun”, “Showboat”, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, and “Kiss Me Kate”.  Using a variety of video and audio clips, participants will have an opportunity to experience these two outstanding artists sing glorious melodies by composers such as Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Jule Styne, and Meredith Wilson.
