OKLAHOMA!

Rodgers and Hammerstein

Rodgers and Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed or broken today. The original 1943 production won a special Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the film won two Academy Awards, and the 1999 National Theatre revival won four Olivier Awards including Best Musical Production. With its 2,248 performances in New York and the record-breaking runs of its road companies, Oklahoma! earned the largest audiences in American musical history. Some of these records were later surpassed, but its importance in opening a new era in the American Musical Theatre will never be challenged. As Rhode Island faces a complex time in its own history, URI Theatre is proud to look back at a period when community spirit and down-to-earth American ingenuity united a people and a place….Oklahoma!
