The Tony Award-winning revival production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! opened this week in its tour stop at San Francisco's Golden Gate Theater, and while almost entirely loyal to the original text it exists worlds away from the 1943 musical that begat it.
If you go to see “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!” this weekend in Oklahoma City, be sure that you know this isn’t the romanticized version of the popular musical that debuted in 1943 and that has enamored audiences ever since.
