Oklahoma!

Oklahoma!

Music by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II

MUSICAL GROUNDBREAKER

When his initial songwriting partner, Lorenz Hart, declined, composer Richard Rodgers asked Oscar Hammerstein II to write lyrics for a musical based on the 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs. Hammerstein eagerly agreed, and Oklahoma!, the iconic duo’s inaugural collaboration, opened in 1943 to rave reviews.

The first successful production to seamlessly integrate music, dance, and plot into a cohesive narrative—pioneering the use of dance to drive the story—the show is credited with launching the “Golden Age” of Broadway musicals and won a special Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1944.
