Originally produced in 1943, Oklahoma! was a box office smash hit that saw an unprecedented 2212 performances before closing. Though originally panned by the critics as too avant guard, Oklahoma! is now considered the birth of the modern American musical. Oklahoma! tells the story of the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys. This provides a colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. “We’ve been thinking about doing Oklahoma! since our first season, but it simply hadn’t worked out. I’m excited that we finally get to work on this quintessential piece of iconic American musical theatre. ***
