ALL OUTDOOR Performances begin at 8:00pm.  TIP Box Office opens at 6pm on performance evenings.  Gates to the seating area open at 6:30pm. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA! runs approximately 2.5 hours including one 15 minute intermission. Rated PG. ABOUT Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.

SYNOPSIS

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! changed everything when it first hit Broadway in 1943. It wasn’t just another song and dance show… it was a proud moment in what had already begun to take shape as a truly American art form: the musical. For the first time, story, song, and dance worked together to move the story forward instead of stopping it cold for a number. And with Agnes de Mille’s groundbreaking choreography, including a dream ballet that let dance speak straight from the characters’ hearts, Oklahoma! set the stage for how American musical theatre would tell its stories for generations to come.

The show takes us to the Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the 20th century, where the land is wide, the sky is endless, and love is about as unpredictable as a thunderstorm in July. Curly McLain, a charming cowboy with a grin as wide as the prairie, greets the morning (and the audience) with “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’.” He’s smitten with Laurey Williams, a fiercely independent farm girl who enjoys keeping him guessing. Their flirtation is a tug-of-war of stubborn hearts, and everyone in town seems to be watching it unfold.

Then there’s Jud Fry, the brooding hired hand who lives in the shadows of Laurey’s farm and the darker corners of his own mind. He’s rough, lonely, and a little bit scary… which adds plenty of tension when Laurey agrees to go to the box social with him instead of Curly. That decision sends gossip and trouble rippling through the prairie faster than a dust storm.

Meanwhile, Ado Annie Carnes is in her own love pickle. She’s sweet, funny, and hopelessly torn between Will Parker, a good-hearted cowboy just back from Kansas City, and Ali Hakim, a fast-talking traveling peddler with charm to spare and no plans to settle down. Her number “I Cain’t Say No” just about says it all.

The big box social turns into the town’s main event, full of laughter, music, and more than a few sparks. Pies get auctioned, tempers flare, and hearts get sorted out… kind of. Then comes one of the most famous moments in musical theatre history: Agnes de Mille’s dream ballet, where Laurey’s subconscious takes center stage. It’s a bold, wordless swirl of emotion, showing her fears and hopes through dance. For 1943, that was revolutionary… dance wasn’t just for show anymore, it was storytelling.

Act Two brings joy, danger, and a little heartbreak. Curly and Laurey finally admit they’re in love, but Jud’s jealousy and loneliness threaten to turn things tragic. When the dust settles, the couple finds their way back to each other, and the town unites in one of Broadway’s most uplifting finales. “Oklahoma!” rings out as a full-hearted anthem to love, community, and the spirit of starting fresh.

At its core, Oklahoma! is a celebration of grit, humor, and hope on the open frontier. With unforgettable songs, lovable characters, and dancing that changed Broadway forever, it remains a joyful, family-friendly classic that still makes audiences smile, tap their feet, and maybe even dream a little bigger under that big blue sky.
