Oklahoma! History and Performance

With music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma! opened on Broadway in 1943 as the pair's first collaboration. Its original run reached 2,212 performances, a record at the time, and its close integration of story, music, and dance helped reshape the American musical. The work received a special Pulitzer Prize citation in 1944 and later inspired the 1955 film adaptation starring Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.
