Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!

MUSIC BY RICHARD RODGERS  BOOK & LYRICS BY OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II BASED ON "GREEN GROW THE LILACS” BY LYNN RIGGS  ORIGINAL DANCES BY AGNES DE MILLE DIRECTED BY PARAMOUNT ARTISTIC DIRECTOR JIM CORTI This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It’s also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy Curly who’s fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma! Nominated for 7 Tony Awards and winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this is the show that sets the standard for the 2015-16 Paramount Broadway Season. It’s filled with some of the most recognized songs in theater including “Beautiful Morning,” “Surrey with the Fringe,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and of course, the resounding “Ok-la-hom-a,” – all performed by the Paramount’s full-orchestra. Bring the entire family and experience Paramount’s Oklahoma! This will be the production everyone is talking about this fall. Suggested Rating: PG. Out of respect for our patrons, children ages 2 and under are not permitted in the theater unless they attend a specific designated children’s show.
