SYNOPSIS

Oklahoma! is a story of love on the frontier. Two stubborn young folks, Laurey Williams and Curly McLain, fall in love but refuse to admit it. They both "surrey" over to the Box Social with other partners to make one another jealous. Eventually, their real feelings will surface, and so will the rage of Jud Fry, the hostile and reclusive outsider who also longs for Laurey's affections, bringing the show to a breath-taking climax. But memorable and loved songs play the biggest role in this brilliantly scored musical. Audiences will sing along with songs brimming with passion and enthusiasm, like "The Surrey With the Fringe On Top," "I Cain't Say No," "Oklahoma," "People Will Say We're In Love," and many more.

Presented through special arrangement with The Rodgers & Hammerstein Theater Library, 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019
