 Oklahoma is set in the American Indian Territory at the turn of the century. A ranch hand, Curly is infatuated with Laurey, while Will Parker returns early from his trip to Kansas City to find his sweetheart has a problem with the word “no”. Read the complete synopsis. You can also take a look at the lyrics from the songs in the show. |

 Oklahoma! is considered by many to be the first musical comedy to have a plot, musical score and dances that were necessary ingredients to advance the story line. I don’t think anyone would argue that it is one of the great shows of all-time! Read a bit more about the development of the musical, or read a bit about the movie version. |
  I’ve got two recordings of this show for now, one of which definitely gets listened to more than the other! Read my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs.
There was also a DVD released of the London production – read a bit more about that recording. |
 I haven’t seen a professional production of this show yet! Though, having seen the movie and the DVD, and amateur productions, I certainly feel familiar with it. 🙂 Still, when I see it, I will add my thoughts here! |
 There have been a huge number of performers that have done this show over the years – these are just a few of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other Oklahoma! websites that are out there. |
