Picked up the Rogers and Hammerstein boxed set for my wife after her surgery in August.
Has Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The King and I, Sound of Music (2 DVDs), and Carousel (the only one of the bunch we hadn't seen and now probably won't see again) Added bonus in viewing this set is that the kids love the musicals too and want to watch them all the time now instead of some of their own dvds... not TV, but good stuff anyhow will ---- William H.
