Seeking Performers for "Oklahoma" Show
Seeking performers for fall production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, please see the details below. About the project: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of amorous Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of newfound statehood!

13 roles
Vocal range: D4-E5 (opt. A5) She’s full of the innocence of youth and yet has an old soul. She lives with her Aunt Eller on a ranch and is in love with Curly, though she may not admit it.
Vocal range: Db3-F4(opt. F#4) Has a confident swagger and deserves it, he is the most handsome man in the whole county. He’s a cowboy/ranch hand and doesn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to go out with him.. He is in love with Laurey, but refuses to admit it.
Vocal range: D3-A4 She acts as the whole town’s aunt, a fun-loving caretaker. She’s quick with advice for all the townsfolk and runs her farm with her niece, Laurey and a hired hand, Jud. She sees the good in everyone - if they deserve it..
Vocal range: Eb3-F4 Will is a cowboy who is skilled enough to compete in rodeos. Being able to do rope tricks is a plus. Will is a dance role. He is interested in Ado Annie, but isn’t the brightest bulb.
Vocal range: D3-C#4) Described as dark and growly, Jud takes care of the farm with Laurey and Aunt Eller. Jud is uncomfortable with the society he lives with, and is seen by most as an outsider and misunderstood. He has feelings for Laurey and a mysterious past.
Vocal range: Andrew Carnes’ daughter, she “Can’t Say No” to anyone. She wants everyone to be happy. Her heart is always in the right place, but she isn’t always the best judge of character. A comic, romantic lead, she is wooed by Ali Hakim, but deep down she feels a connection to Will Parker.
Patter Song Traveling Brooklyn peddler/con man with a Brooklyn accent who claims he’s from Persia (present day Iran), though we aren’t sure how much of what he says we can believe. He, like Jud, is an outsider to this community but not feared by most. He likes pretty things and women. He pursues Ado Annie and Gertie Cummings.
Alto or Soprano From the next town over, she has eyes on Curly and isn’t waiting around for Laurey to say no to him. She has a *unique* laugh.
Tenor Ado Annie’s father. Quick with a shot-gun to protect the honor (or what’s left of it) of his little girl.
Baritone Owns the ranch where the Box Social takes place.
