All-Time Musical Favorite Oklahoma!: Romance in the West
The Grove Theatre (Upland, CA)
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece about a romantic rivalry on the Western frontier boasts a collection of classic songs and a spirit that’s made it an enduring favorite. Oklahoma! tells the story of the lovely Laurey and her two determined suitors: Curly the cowboy and Jud the hired farmhand, while tackling the class issues between farmers and cattlemen in the rugged landscape of a new state. Featuring such Broadway favorites as “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,” and the exuberant title song, this brilliant first collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein set box-office records as it ushered in the Golden Age of American musical theater.
