Synopsis Oklahoma!
is set 100 years ago after the plains have been tamed, almost; now
the land wars between the farmers and cattlemen are raging. Against
this backdrop is the eternal story that has been told from Romeo
and Juliet to West Side Story, young farm girl Laurey is
being courted by young farm hand Jud on one hand and cowboy Curly on
the other. Decisions, decisions. Jud has a dark side while Curly
is...well Curly breaks out into Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,
so you know he has a soft, sensitive side. Other hit tunes from the
show include Surrey With the Fringe On Top, People Will Say We're
In Love and, of course O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!
Notes The inspiration
for Oklahoma! was the Lynn Riggs drama Green Grow the
Lilacs, which ran for 64 performances at the Guild
Theater in 1931. Franchot Tone played Curley, June Walker was
Laurey. The original musical production was first staged at the St
James Theater in 1943 with Alfred Drake and Joan Roberts leading
the cast. The show played for 2,248 performances. Oklahoma!
has been revisited three times on Broadway, most recently in 1979 at
the Palace
Theater
