"People
will say they’re in love" when they take their "surrey with a fringe on top" to visit that place where "the wind comes sweepin' down the plain..."

Oklahoma!, first produced on Broadway in 1943, was a groundbreaking musical
that ushered in the golden age of musical theater and set the standard
for American musicals. Set in
1906, just before Oklahoma achieved statehood, the show focuses on
rivalries – both farmers and ranchers fighting over fences and land
rights, and romantic rivalries. Laurie, a strong-willed farm
girl, and Curly, an exuberant cowboy, deny their obvious attraction,
creating an opportunity for farmhand Jud to come between them. Laurie’s
friend, Ado Annie, finds herself torn between her local beau, Will, and
the smooth-talking traveling salesman, Ali Hakim. Pulling it all
together are the numerous songs and dance numbers that
have made Oklahoma! an American musical classic, including Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, People Will Say We’re in Love, The Surrey with the Fringe On Top, and, of course, Oklahoma!
The Mira Costa production is directed by Cary Jordahl and Carol Mathews.
