It was the first musical they wrote together.. KYLE: Each had already found success on Broadway: Rodgers, having written a series of ​ popular musicals with lyricist Lorenz Hart, and Hammerstein, having written the monumental classic, ‘Show Boat.’ But together with ‘Oklahoma!', they would change musical theatre forever. “Oh! What a Beautiful Mornin’” There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky Oh, what a beautiful mornin' Oh, what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way All the cattle are standing like statues All the cattle are standing like statues They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by But a little brown maverick is winking her eye Oh, what a beautiful mornin' I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way All the sounds of the earth are like music All the sounds of the earth are like music The breeze is so busy, it don't miss a tree And an old weeping willow is laughing at me Oh, what a beautiful mornin' Oh, what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way Oh, what a beautiful day ALEXA I: With its character-driven songs and innovative use of dance, ‘Oklahoma’ elevated how ​ musicals were written.

  • Shipment Day Playbill.Indd
    MANOA VALLEY THEATRE PRESENTS A World Premiere by Lorenzo DeStefano November 8 – 25, 2018 #innovators #artists #individuals Hawai‘i’s arts education leader for more than 25 years Preschool to Grade 12 | midpac.edu | (808) 973-5005 A poignant Hawaii story graces our stage Manoa Valley Theatre’s 50th Anniversary continues with a very special presentation that is a highlight in this auspicious season. Lorenzo DeStefano’s poignant drama, Shipment Day, shines light on a troublesome period of Hawaii’s history and the amazing fortitude of one of its citizens, Olivia Robello Breitha, who was his cousin. The play dramatizes her early years in Honolulu when she was first disagnosed with Hansen’s Disease, and the resulting fear and hostilities she faced with this life changing condition. The play’s mirror on history is insightful, and its parallel to more recent epidemics and contemporary society’s response underscores the importance for education, understanding and compassion. We are grateful to Mr. DeStefano for inviting MVT to stage the World Premiere of his play. It is befitting to include this Hawaii based story in our first half-century celebration as we’re reflecting on our community, our mission, our past and our future. Thank you for engaging with us. Four more exciting productions are coming up this season, plus a music and comedy filled Studio Series lineup, so we hope to see you back at MVT often. We are grateful for your patronage and your support. Our partnership with you ensures robust and stimulating theatrical fare for our community. Thank you most kindly.

Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront.
