WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Cameron Mackintosh presents the Royal National Theatre's
wildly-acclaimed production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's landmark musical Oklahoma!, directed by Trevor Nunn and featuring choreography by Susan Stroman. The show features such classic musical numbers as "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin," "People Will Say We're In Love," "The Surrey With the Fringe On Top" and the title song. Set in the territory of Oklahoma at the turn of the century, against a background of the rivalry between cattlemen and farmers, the musical tells the story of the farm girl Laurey and the two rivals for her affection: the cowboy Curly and Jud, the brooding farmhand. Patty Duke returns to Broadway in the role of Aunt Eller.
