Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today.
Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.
Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!
“If ever a show earned its exclamation point, it’s this one!” Wall Street Journal “A masterpiece…” New York Post “It’s not just a classic American musical but—and this is the real surprise—a truthful, touching and gripping drama about growing up and falling in love, about dreams and nightmares.” London Daily Mail “Forget baseball, hot dogs and apple pie. Nothing is more American than OKLAHOMA!” Houston Chronicle “Calling Rodgers and Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA! a classic American musical is an understatement. Like Grant Wood’s ‘American Gothic’ and Mark Twain’s novels…OKLAHOMA! is firmly embedded in the canon of America’s greatest cultural creations.” Wichita Eagle
