An Icon of American Musical Theatre
Oklahoma! premiered on Broadway in 1943, marking the first collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Set in a Western territory just before Oklahoma achieved statehood in the early 1900s, the story follows Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a strong-willed farm girl, as they navigate a tender romance amid the backdrop of rivalries between local farmers and cowboys.

The musical is known for its unforgettable score—including songs like “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’”, “People Will Say We’re in Love”, and “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top”—and for introducing the groundbreaking idea that every element of a musical, from songs to dance numbers, should advance the plot.
It’s no surprise that Oklahoma! won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944 and has seen countless revivals on Broadway and beyond. The show continues to influence generations of theatre lovers and performers with its themes of hope, community, and the pursuit of a brighter future.
