Oklahoma!

Oklahoma! is a classic musical set in the early 1900s in the Oklahoma Territory. The first collaboration of renowned musical theater duo Rodgers & Hammerstein, it tells the story of Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a strong-willed farm girl, as they navigate their budding romance amidst tensions between local farmers and cowboys. The musical explores themes of love, rivalry, and the pursuit of happiness in a close-knit community. A subplot involves Ado Annie, who is torn between two suitors. Known for iconic songs like “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” and the title number “Oklahoma!,” the show was groundbreaking for its integration of song and story, setting a new standard for Broadway musicals.
