Broadway Revival Of Oklahoma To Open Tonight

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain, and the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet, when the wind comes right behind the rain". They sure don't write lyrics like that anymore. Oklahoma, which believe it or not, first premiered in 1943, is making it's triumphant return tonight at the Circle in in the Square Theatre. It comes to Broadway via it's sold out, critically acclaimed run at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn.

Now I'll be honest, this is not your Grandmother's Oklahoma. Oh no. In this radical new version of this beloved classic, Laurey is African-American, Ado-Annie is in a wheelchair, and Curly strums a guitar along side the show's seven piece band. Now that sounds like my kind of Oklahoma. By the way, for those of you who want tickets to see Oklahoma, you are in luck. We sell it.

In fact if you call right now, you can get tickets to see the show at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru September 1, it is for select seats only, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Oklahoma on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre. Expect the show to be a big contender at this year's Tony Awards. Until next time theatre fans.

New Broadway Production Of Oklahoma! Headed To Broadway

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.
