Oklahoma musical description
The London premiere took place in April 1947 at the Theatre Royal. The show concluded in May 1950 after 1543 performances. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, choreographed by Agnes de Mille. The cast included Howard Keel, Betty Jane Watson, Dinah MacFarland, Harold Clarke, Marion Marlowe, Walter Donahue & Marie Windheim. In April 1947, the musical was also held at the Manchester Opera House.
In May 1951, it was staged at the Broadway Theatre for 100 performances. The cast included Patricia Northrop, Ridge Bond, Harold Clarke & Jack Sundt. In 1953, 40 performances took place at NY’s City Center with Florence Henderson, Ridge Bond, and Barbara Cook. The new version of the production was held at the Palace Theatre from December 1979 to August 1980, directed by William Hammerstein, choreographed by Gemze de Lappe. A new variant was shown in the West End in 1980 and during 1998 – 2003, in London's George Gershwin Theatre. The musical received several Theatre World, Tony, Drama Desk, and other awards.
Recently, "Oklahoma!" experienced a significant revival that brought fresh interpretations to this classic. In 2019, the Broadway revival, directed by Daniel Fish, won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. This production offered a darker, more intimate reimagining of the original, featuring contemporary orchestrations and innovative staging. The cast included Damon Daunno, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Mary Testa, and Ali Stroker, who made history as the first actor in a wheelchair to win a Tony Award.
Additionally, "Oklahoma!" has continued to tour internationally, with productions in countries like Australia and Japan, further solidifying its status as a timeless piece of American musical theatre. The success of the recent revivals and tours has proven that "Oklahoma!" remains relevant, resonating with modern audiences while celebrating its rich legacy.
