| Overview / Synopsis |
| Rodgers &
Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their
most innovative. The landmark musical OKLAHOMA!
set the standards and established the rules of musical theater
still being followed today. |
| |
| Set in a Western Indian
territory just after the turn of the last 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 rollicking courtship. Although the path to true love
seldom runs smooth, with these two headstrong characters
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! |
| |
| Getting to Know ... OKLAHOMA!
is the perfect show to introduce young people through the 9th
grade to the magic of live theater. |
