The recent Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is transferring to London's Young Vic Theatre in 2022.
This is Oklahoma! as you've never seen it before, re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, Daniel Fish's bold interpretation transfers to the Young Vic, direct from an acclaimed run on Broadway and a U.S. tour.
Oklahoma! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Seventy-five years after Rodgers and Hammerstein reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.
The creative team of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! will feature Director Daniel Fish, Orchestrations, Arrangements & Music Supervision Daniel Kluger, Choreographer John Heginbotham, Set Designer Laura Jellinek, Costume Designer Terese Wadden, Lighting Designer Scott Zielinski, Sound Designer Drew Levy, Projection Designer Joshua Thorson, Casting Director Jacob Sparrow, Associate Director Jordan Fein and Associate Set Designer Grace Laubacher.
Cast and additional creatives to be announced.
The Bard SummerScape production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! In association with Eva Price, Sonia Friedman Productions and Michael Harrison.
Oklahoma! has music by Richard Rodgers, book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs. Original Choreography by Agnes de Mille.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! will play the Young Vic, running from 26th April - 25th Jun 2022. Tickets go on general sale from 11th January 2022 - 12pm.
