⭐ RUMOUR – RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S OKLAHOMA! SET FOR WEST END TRANSFER ⭐
The Tony Award-winning revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! is set to transfer to the West End, it has been rumoured.
After a hugely successful run at the Young Vic, the acclaimed revival will reportedly transfer to the West End early next year, after securing a theatre.
This is Oklahoma! as you’ve never seen it before, re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
Oklahoma! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Seventy-five years after Rodgers and Hammerstein reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.
The Young Vic production was co-directed by Daniel Fish and Jordan Fein, with orchestrations, arrangements by Daniel Kluger and co-music supervision by Daniel Kluger and Nathan Koci, choreography by John Heginbotham, co-set design by Laura Jellinek and Grace Laubacher, costume design by Terese Wadden, lighting design by Scott Zielinski, sound design by Drew Levy, projection design by Joshua Thorson, musical director Tom Brady and casting by Jacob Sparrow, with associate choreographer Shelby Williams, assistant director Nimmo Ismail, associate costume designer Rachel Townsend, associate lighting designer Fiffi Thorsteinsson, associate musical director Huw Evans, dialect coach Sam Lilja and orchestral manager David Gallagher.
Oklahoma! has music by Richard Rodgers, book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs. Original Choreography by Agnes de Mille.
