Oklahoma!

author: Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein
composer: Richard Rodgers
lyricist: Oscar Hammerstein
director: Dan Knechtges
musical director: John Bell



From the team who brought us the beloved musicals Carousel, The King and I, and The Sound of Music comes the first of their Broadway hits - a treasure of the American theatre and the longest running Broadway musical of its time. It's the Wild West of the Oklahoma territory, where life is ungoverned and unpredictable, and cowboys and farmers are in spirited competition for the land. In this setting we meet two such men, Jud and Curly, and the woman they both love. The hit songs from Oklahoma! are among the most popular of our musical heritage: Oklahoma!, Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin', and People Will Say We're in Love. Broadway director Dan Knechtges will bring a fresh energy to this time-honored classic that the entire family will love!

Winner of a special Pulitzer Prize, an honorary Grammy, and a special Tony Award.

"...this entertaining production of "Oklahoma!" - energy and emotion, spectacle and song - is delightful; this classic satisfies a longing you didn't even know you had." – Ithaca Journal

"Director Dan Knechtges endows most of the show with an involved poignance, the same element that gave "Oklahoma!" such a successful audience response on Broadway in 1943." – Ithaca Times

"And if the positive side of your psyche is in need of a mid-summer tune-up, this is the show that'll get you humming again- literally." – Syracuse Post Standard

"High-stepping harmonizing honeys take charge in Hangar Theatre's Oklahoma!"- Syracuse New Times
