My first 78RPM album
(two 10.inch discs, 12 minutes)
when I was a 12yo n 1949
was OKLAHOMA!
Years later I would see the movie
with Rod Steiger

This is a delightful new view.

I'm from Perú and this musical made me love Oklahoma the time I first listened to it on the radio in a show called "Teatro Musical Norteamericano" in Lima when I could only speak and understand basic English. It was a brand new love for the brand new state!!! May God grant me the miracle to ever visit Oklahoma before I die.

Oklahoma has always been my favorite musical. My father used to direct plays, and this is one I'll never forget! The entire cast was brilliant! The dancing was out of this world! Usually, the dream sequence is my least favorite part of the play, not with this version; it was breathtaking! The actor playing Curly was so amazing, made me feel like I was listening to Gordon McCrea! The actress Laurie has a beautiful voice, a bit operatic for the part but it was still magical. It was especially WONDERFUL to hear the actress who played Ado Annie who could actually sing! I've always wondered what that would sound like and now I know! Wonderful performance from everyone!

From what I've read, 'Oklahoma!' was a HUGE hit when it first played London in 1947. Even the future Queen Elizabeth was a fan. The Curly, Howard Keel was invited to a party at the home of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, a major badge of honor among theatre people at the time.

Sorry to burst your bubble: Oklahoma! was shot on location in and around Nogales, Arizona, because in 1955, the state of Oklahoma was so heavily farmed and developed, few suitable areas could be found that resembled the highly-rural and undeveloped Oklahoma of the turn of the century in which the musical is set.

The authenticity of the costumes and smooth economy of the simple scenic elements were appropriately underplayed by a skillful director and creative team. Splendid orchestra !
We were particularly impressed with Curly and Laurie’s powerful and still sweet voices…
and the remarkably real portrayal of Judd as a man who was not only dirty but afflicted with being born with a “difference” that puts so many people on the margins of society.

Words cannot convey how marvelous this performance of "Oklahoma" was. What a breathtaking production at The Round, with an all-star cast of modern theatrical greats. The choreography, music and staging were superb. Nathaniel Hackmann as Curly and Scarlett Strallen as Laurey gave a performance matching their film predecessors, the great Gordon Macrae and legendary Shirley Jones. Ado Annie was marvelously played by Lizzy Connolly with an acerbic wit and naivete. It was equally fantastic to see the great Robbie Fairchild play Will Parker, whose role here can't even begin to compare to what he did as Jerry Mulligan in "An American in Paris," on Broadway and at the The Dominion in the West End in 2017. His full dancing, singing and acting abilities were on another plain and beyond description. David Seadon-Young gave a chilling, riveting performance of Jud and none of this would have been possible without the extraordinary orchestral talents of John Wilson. Bravo to this masterpiece in theatre and many thanks for sharing.

I just stumbled into this marvelous production by accident this evening and had an instant flashback to 62 years ago almost to the day (Nov 24, 1959) when I stood on the stage of my high school and as Curly, belted out "Oh what a beautiful morning" to start our three night sold out run.

As I watched and sang along this evening, I could remember all the other cast member's names and for some reason, I can't recall what I had for supper tonight but I remember every lyric to every song.

It is certainly a timeless show and kudos to all involved in this production.

On opening night of Oklahoma in 1943 they had a third empty seats and so went out on the street and gave soldiers on leave free tickets to fill the house.

I first heard Oklahoma when I checked out the LP album from the music library of the college I was attending in 1978, having only been aware of one song ,” Oh what a beautiful morning “ . I fell in love with it and the works of Rodgers and Hammerstein. I finally got to see the stage production of Oklahoma ,but in London of all places , and with Hugh Jackman as Curly , in 1999.
This was a terrific production and if I’m not mistaken the Brits have always had a particular love for this musical over most of any that crossed the pond. I believe I read somewhere that the Queen and Prince Philip had adopted one of the songs as their own theme while courting , “People will say we’re in love “. I very much appreciate this production,the wonderful cast and sensational orchestra and all artists and workers involved in this performance at Royal Albert and the broadcast and the YouTube upload.

R and H are the American guys who put the Operetta Age into the history bin. This was the first of their string of amazing hits that changed the London and Broadway scene. Although my favorite by far is Carousel, you can see its DNA in Oklahoma. Some of the most beautiful music ever scored in the English language, IMO.

Nathaniel Hackmann & Scarlett Strallen Made An Awesome Couple As Curly & Laurey. Being A Musical Freak They Were Just As Good As Gordon Mcrae & Shirley Jones. So Were Lizzy Connelly & Robbie Fairchild As Will Parker & Ado Arnie As Gene Nelson & Gloria Graham. The choreography was well arranged too!!!

The way she introduces it is like the way I in America might introduce something English or European. It's a foreign story to her. ^____^

Opening night was big success. But Rodgers and Hammerstein still weren't sure that it was a hit. The notices in the morning papers were all rave reviews. When Rodgers and Hammerstein went to the theater that afternoon they looked out the windows of the cab and saw a line of people starting at the box office, stretching down the block, and around the corner down the side street. Hammerstein turned to Rodgers and said, "I think that we have a hit!"
I read that it was a true story.

Columnist Walter Winchell wrote a snide review without seeing the show: "No legs, no laughs, no Chance!".....so much for his judgment!

@kathleenmckenzie6261

@@rjlev I read a little book about the trials and tribulations of bringing Oklahoma! to Broadway. It was so different for its time. Agnes DeMille had a battle for her choice of costumes, the dancers were all professionals instead of just chorus girls, the winter was miserably cold and wet and there was a lot of sickness going around -- it's a wonder it ever got to Broadway. Seeing this production makes me feel that I'm watching something very close to the original staging. It's great!

This production has to compete with the best production of a musical ever, the Royal National Theatre production that premiered on July 15, 1998. We saw it live and still get goosebumps remembering how incredible it was. You can view clips from it on YouTube but the best way is to get the DVD.

This production was a staged concert version and couldn't match a fully staged production. But it was really well done and captured the heart of the show. The Orchestra was sized to fit in a Broadway pit and they were excellent, as was the conductor. The cast was constrained to a small stage but the director and choreographer made it work.

I think it is the second best production we've ever seen.

Look at the university of North Carolina's School of the Arts production. They reproduced everything in the original down to a T. It's like watching the original 1943,production. You can see it here on YouTube
