Oklahoma is the first musical written by the team of composer Richard
Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical is based on Lynn
Riggs' 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs. Set in the Oklahoma
Territory outside the town of Claremore in 1906,it tells the story of
cowboy Curly McLain and his romance with farm girl Laurey Williams. A
secondary romance concerns cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious
fiancée, Ado Annie. The original Broadway production opened on March 31,
1943. It was a box-office smash and ran for an unprecedented 2,212
performances, later enjoying award-winning revivals, national tours,
foreign productions and an Academy Award-winning 1955 film adaptation
starring Shirley Jones and Gordan MacRae
This musical, building on the makings of earlier musicals developed the
"book musical", a musical play where the songs and dances are fully
integrated into a well-made story with serious dramatic goals that are
able to evoke genuine emotions from its characters. In addition, Oklahoma!
features musical themes that recur throughout the music and story.The
"Dream Ballet" reflects Laurey's struggle with her feelings about two men,
Curley and Jud with Agnes Demille's Award winning choreograpy now adapted
by Ariana Kampanelas Starline's very own Musical Theatre Choreographer. A
special Pulitzer Prize was awarded to Richard Rodgers and Oscar
Hammerstein II for Oklahoma in 1944.
