Has it really been seventy-five years since this beloved Broadway musical first captured the heart's of theatergoers around the world? Time sure does fly in the theatre world now doesn't it? Oklahoma!, which first premiered at New Haven's Shubert Theatre in March 1943, is set to begin previews at the Circle in the Square Theatre on March 19, 2019, with opening night to be announced.
Now believe it or not, but Oklahoma! was the first musical I ever saw. Not on Broadway mind you. I mean I'm not that old. This particular production was in my hometown of Paris, Illinois in 1979. To say it had a profound effect on me is an understatement. It's probably one of the reasons why less than thirteen years later, I moved to New York. But enough about me.
You came here to get more info on this Broadway classic. The show, which just finished a sold out engagement at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, is being directed by Daniel Fish, with choreography by John Heginbotham. Casting as well as an on sale date have yet to be announced. Be sure to check this website for further updates. Expect the show to big a big contender at the 2019 Tony Awards. Until next time theatre fans.
