This week, the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization released R&H Goes Pop!, a compilation that features contemporary twists on popular songs from the R&H catalog reinterpreted by today’s Broadway stars. Hosted by Laura Osnes (Tony nominee for R&H’s Cinderella), the YouTube series launched in January 2019 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the writing team’s first collaboration, Oklahoma! Now, the full series of audio tracks and music videos are available for streaming and download here.
Lending their voices to the project are Tony winners Gavin Creel, Santino Fontana, Katrina Link, and Ali Stroker as well as Tony nominees Lilli Cooper, Ariana DeBose, Ashley Park, and more. Below is Osnes and her Bonnie & Clyde costar, Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan, in “The Next Ten Minutes Ago,” a mashup of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Ten Minutes Ago” from Cinderella and Jason Robert Brown’s “The Next Ten Minutes” from The Last Five Years.
