Oklahoma! gallops into the in , ,

Laurey is a headstrong farm girl who doesn't want to fall willingly into the arms of the handsome cowboy, Curly. In her attempts to avoid him, she ends up turning to the dark-hearted farm hand, Jud Fry, who wants to do more than take her to the dance.....

The classic musical is the story of Laurey and the two rivals for her affections: Curly, a cowboy, and Jud, the hired farmhand. The play takes place in 1906 in an Indian territory of the American West during the time when Oklahoma was established as a state.

It 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. Oklahoma! was also the first musical to have its entire score recorded, thus creating the original cast album.
