"Oklahoma!" Musical Needs Performers
"Oklahoma!" show casting actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Plot: Oklahoma!, was the first collaborative effort by famed partnership, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, wherein they created the standard of America’s greatest contribution to theatre…the musical! Set in an Indian Territory not long after the turn of the 20th century, the plot involves love, attraction, jealousy, manipulation, and everything in-between. The story follows a farmgirl, Laurey, and her courtship with two men. One is a handsome well-meaning cowboy named Curly. The other is a troubled farmhand named Jud. Other characters include the flirtatious and flighty Ado Annie who boasters her own two suitors: Will, who can’t seem to hold onto enough money to win Annie’s father’s approval, and a peddler named Ali, who has the money, but no desire to be married! Aunt Eller (Laurey’s aunt) and Andrew Carnes (Annie’s father) round out the lead characters in this delightful song and dance about love and life in the wild frontier!
