[PAR] [TLE] Pipe Dream (musical) [SEP] Pipe Dream is the seventh musical by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II; it premiered on Broadway on November 30, 1955.  The work is based on John Steinbeck's short novel "Sweet Thursday"—Steinbeck wrote the novel, a sequel to "Cannery Row", in the hope of having it adapted into a musical.  Set in Monterey, California, the musical tells the story of the romance between Doc, a marine biologist, and Suzy, who in the novel is a prostitute; her profession is only alluded to in the stage work.  "Pipe Dream" was a flop and a financial disaster for Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Hammerstein collaborated with numerous composers, such as Jerome Kern, with whom he wrote "Show Boat", Vincent Youmans, Rudolf Friml, Richard A.
