First written by Rodger and Hammerstein 80 years ago, Oklahoma helped to redefine musical theatre and forever change the way that musicals are written. Daniel Fish’s production takes that spark of revolution and nurtures it into a show that will still manage to amaze audiences all these decades later.

Oklahoma musical songs

Oklahoma is packed with Rodgers & Hammerstein classics that have captured hearts for 80 years. From ‘The Surrey With The Fringe On Top’ and ‘People Will Say We’re In Love’, to ‘Many A New Day’ and ‘I Can’t Say No’, Oklahoma offers countless memorable tunes. The show’s opener ‘Oh What A Beautiful Mornin’’ remains a musical theatre classic, whilst no one can resist that rousing finale, ‘Oklahoma’.

Oklahoma West End creatives

Oklahoma was originally written by the iconic creative team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. This was the first musical that the duo wrote together. They would go on to pen classics such as Carousel, The King and I, and The Sound Of Music. Rodgers and Hammerstein are often credited with helping to invent the ‘story song’ style of musical theatre writing, in which songs help to propel the narrative of the show and serve a purpose in the plot. The Oklahoma musical songs are a fantastic early example of this style of writing.

Oklahoma is based on the play ‘Green Grow The Lilacs’ by Lynn Riggs. The production features the original choreography from 80 years ago, by Agnes De Mille. Oklahoma is directed by Daniel Fish, who was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for his work on this production.
