Play combines departments
OKLAHOMA from page 9
ing with “A Christmas Carol,” which
the Department of Theatre Arts and
Dance produces on the main stage of
the Lied Center for Performing Arts.
Americana!
“Oklahoma!” also represents the
first collaborative effort by quintes
sential Broadway partners Richard
Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Its Broadway premiere was so suc
cessful the two men went on to col
laborate on “South Pacific,”
“Carousel,” “The King and I,” “The
Sound of Music” and “State Fair.” In
1955, “Oklahoma!” was turned into
an Academy Award-winning movie
starring Shirley Jones.
The musical features such well
known songs as “Oklahoma!” “Oh,
What a Beautiful Mornin’!” and
“Surrey with the Fringe on Top.”
Shomos elaborated on the status
of the songs in American society.
“The tunes have really become a
part of our culture. Kids are intro
duced to ‘Oklahoma!’ on ‘Sesame
Street,”’ Shomos said. “This musical
and the music is really important to
who we are as people.”
The musical takes place during
the early 20th century, when
American Indian territory was being
turned into the state of Oklahoma.
The story is of Curly, a good
natured cowboy in love with Lauray,
an orphaned farmer’s daughter.
However, Lauray is hesitant to admit
her love for Curly and instead gives
her attention to Jud Fry, a menacing
hired hand who is obsessed with her.
The musical also includes the
love triangle of Ado Annie (“I’m Just
a Girl Who Can’t Say No”), her cow
boy beau, Will Parker, and Ali
Hakim, a traveling salesman.
Shomos said the setting of the
musical provided an underlying opti
mism that he hoped would motivate
the audience.
“These people gave up every
thing they had in hope for a new life,”
Shomos said. “There is an attitude
that ‘We believe in the land and the
land will see us through.’ I hope (the
audiences) go away with the sense of
optimism that the story is about.”
Shomos also remarked on the
significance of the play premiering
in 1943 during World War II.
“We can only imagine the kind of
emotions this show must have engen
dered in the audience at that time,”
Shomos said.
“Oklahoma” runs Thursday
through Saturday at 8 p.m. and
Sunday at 2 p.m. in Kimball Recital
Hall. Tickets are sold out for all four
performances.
