Director's Notes Fifty years ago, a remarkable event took place on Broadway: a new musical opened - nothing out of the ordinary in that, except that the curtain went up on a middle-aged woman silently churning butter shortly to be followed by an off-stage voice singing a ballad! Where was the jazzy upbeat ensemble boy-and-girl number that said 'nothing is wrong with the world' which is the way musicals were supposed to open? And when the first act closed with a ballet, it left the first-nighters experiencing a sense of bewilderment over something so totally new and different from anything they had ever seen before in a musical. Fortunately, they stayed around for the second act- as have countless audiences since. OKLAHOMA! was the very first musical in which lyrics, music, and dancing are fused with the libretto to advance the plot and develop the characters- a novel approach difficult to appreciate now because almost every musical since has done the same. However, its success is evident because this landmark work has been pleasing audiences all this time. We're particularly delighted to bring OKLAHOMA! to you to celebrate its golden anniversary!
