ABOUT
Oklahoma! is a classic American musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein that premiered in 1943. Set in the Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the 20th century, the story centers around the spirited rivalry between two suitors, Curly McLain, a charming cowboy, and Jud Fry, a brooding farmhand, who are both vying for the affection of Laurey Williams, a strong-willed farm girl. As the community prepares for a box social, tensions rise, love triangles form, and the characters grapple with questions of identity, independence, and the promise of a new American frontier.
The musical is celebrated not only for its compelling story and richly drawn characters, but also for its groundbreaking integration of song, dance, and drama. Iconic numbers like “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and the rousing title song “Oklahoma!” reflect the optimism and challenges of a changing America. Blending romance, comedy, and darker themes, Oklahoma! marked a turning point in musical theatre history, laying the foundation for a new era of storytelling on stage.
