I have to sing the song for class, and I can't find a synopsis that makes sense and I have to know how the song fits into the musical and about the character who sings it... Broadway buffs, help me out!

Find a "Rogers and Hammerstein" website or ? and I'm sure you will find it there. After all, they are the create rs of the play. If you can't find one, try to get the video "The sound of MOVIES". It is a very informative video about all of the R& H plays. It is hosted by Shirly Jones, and it tells the story of each one of their great plays. And the behind the scenes info. Good luck. P.S. If you can't find the video in a store, go to the library, that's where I got it from.
