Oklahoma! is a landmark 1943 musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs, that revolutionized musical theater by seamlessly integrating song, dance, and plot into a cohesive “musical play”. Set in 1906 Oklahoma Territory, it tells the love story of cowboy Curly McLain and farm girl Laurey Williams, complicated by the sinister farmhand Jud Fry, against the backdrop of the territory’s path to statehood. The show launched the “Golden Age of Broadway,” won a special Pulitzer Prize, and its title song became the official state song of Oklahoma in 1953.
