Background notes
Archive material and source history
Oklahoma! premiered on Broadway in 1943, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It was based on Lynn Riggs' play "Green Grow the Lilacs." The original cast included Alfred Drake as Curly McLain, Celeste Holm as Ado Annie Carnes, and Joan Roberts as Laurey Williams.
Agnes de Mille choreographed the production, which blended folk melodies with Broadway show tunes. Songs like "Out of My Dreams" and "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" became part of the musical's score.
Some critics at the time questioned how the show depicted rural life, but it ran for years on Broadway. The Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration continued with other musicals after Oklahoma!.
