Ethan Hawke Shines in Richard Linklater's Blue Moon

Ethan Hawke embodies the spirit of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart in 'Blue Moon'.

Who doesn’t love Oklahoma!, the 1943 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that kicked off the golden age of musical theater? If you don’t enjoy the songs, you might be dead, or you’re the spiritual kin of Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers’ first writing partner.

Hart, who died in 1943 at 48, was the lyricist behind standards like

“My Funny Valentine,” “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was,”
and
“Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered”
, songs with every color of elation or heartbreak and self-deprecating humor.

Author summary: Ethan Hawke shines as Lorenz Hart.
