Oklahoma! is back — but this isn’t your grandparent’s Broadway musical.
This spring, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic 1943 musical
returns to Broadway as a surprising reinvention of a masterpiece. Throwing out everything audiences take for granted about a theatrical touchstone, this new production finds fresh intimacy and urgency in the familiar tale of a love triangle among settlers in the western territories in 1906. As director Daniel Fish says: “Leave your expectations outside.”
The rule-breaking production has already won over critics. After attracting early attention in a 2015 premiere at Bard College in upstate New York, Oklahoma! played a sold-out run in the fall at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn. There it earned raves for its fresh, stripped-down staging, its vibrant cast (including fan favorites Rebecca Naomi Jones and Mary Testa), and its bluegrass-infused take on the score.
TED'S TOURS HAS SENT A REQUEST IN FOR TICKETS ON MAY 12.
