Oscar Hammerstein II is considered one of the most iconic Broadway writers and producers in musical theater history. That is why his grandson, Will Hammerstein, is looking to turn the former icon's farm and house into a Hammerstein museum and educational center.
Will Hammerstein joins Cheddar in New York to discuss, "An Enchanted Evening: A Night With Oscar Hammerstein II." The off-Broadway show is a docu-musical that focuses on the evolution of Hammerstein's work.
