Which couple from Rodgers and Hammerstein is your favorite. Tell us all why.

[Salome]

DeBeque and Nellie. they are so real..their relationship is so complex. and they must overcome alot of great oddds.

^^Wow Salome, it feels like I haven't agreed with you for about a week now. But de Becque and Nellie are the best couple. I think they are also the most realistic, even though the romance between the Captain and Maria was real...I guess I mean that one stage the relationship between Forbush and de Becque is the most relatable, complex, and realistic couple.

Julie and Billy for me- I find their relationship the most painful and the most fascinating.

[Helena2]

Anna and the King. Simply because they were a couple of unfulfilled love, and their story is the most interesting of all R & H couples. The "Shall We Dance" number is so romantically charged. They get my vote.

I chose Emile DeBeque and Nellie Forbush. I think their relationship really encompasses the greatest arc, the most complex journey, of any of the Rodgers and Hammerstein couples. They both change and develop so much individually as the play goes on and I love the way one sees those individual developments impact on the relationship. For me, their love comes across as the most real and the way their relationship ebbs and flows and then snaps into focus is so realistic and so thoroughly and pulled through the entire play with purpose and suspense.
