What's Oklahoma! Like?
Although the show is set in old western town, much of the sentiment from the show can provide a degree of escapism for the modern world in which we live. It is true that the show can be seen as a confident cowboy competing with a farmhand to take young farm woman to a local dance, but many people read into that narrative a bigger story about the struggle between Russia and the USA during the 1970's cold war. This revival brings some new songs and whole new format to the show that modernizes it for current audiences, something that older shows often fear to do. Its message still remains upbeat and gets the audience toe-tapping and hee-hawing after the show is long over.
Is Oklahoma! Good for Kids?
This show is appropriate for children 12 and up. The show contains mature content. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
Oklahoma! on Broadway Background
A seventy-five year old musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma is the tale of an self-assured cowboy who competes with other men to take a young farm woman to the local dance. Although the musical seems to be an opportunity for light romance on the surface, the deeper story line is about how a community outcasts outsiders and the show spotlights the Anglo US/Russian relationship during the cold war in the 1970's
