Near the end of the article, Billington says, "The final Rodgers and Hammerstein venture was a TV adaption of Cinderella..." He had already identified Flower Drum Song as having been written in 1958 and The Sound of Music in 1959. Did he not know that Cinderella was 1957? Curious. He also references the Sondheim quote in which Sondheim says that Hammerstein had "limited talent." I always found this to be arrogant and condescending on Sondheim's part. I don't think he redeems himself by saying that Hammerstein had "infinite soul," which I believe happens to be true.
