Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!: Youth Edition

Set in the early 1900s in what was then Indian Territory, the story unfolds amid a spirited rivalry between farmers and cowboys. Amid this colorful backdrop, Curly—a charming cowboy—pursues the independent and headstrong farm girl, Laurey, in a playful courtship peppered with humor and heartfelt songs. Their journey includes beloved classics like “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” and the stirring ensemble number “Oklahoma,” all while balancing romance with lighthearted comedy through the adventures of Ado Annie and Will Parker.
