Oklahoma!

New Village Arts Theatre
2787 B State Street Carlsbad

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. The story of the lovely Laurey and her two determined suitors -- Curly the cowboy and Jud the hired farmhand -- also tackles the class issues between farmers and cattlemen in the rugged landscape of a new state. The show features 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.
