__SOLD OUT IN NEW YORK. SOLD OUT AT THE YOUNG VIC__.
Forget what you think it is… this is __Rodgers & Hammerstein's__ *OKLAHOMA!* as you’ve never seen it before – re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century.
Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical Revival, __Daniel Fish's__ bold interpretation recently enjoyed a sold-out run at the Young Vic following sold-out runs in New York and across the U.S. on tour.
*OKLAHOMA!* tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Eighty years after __Rodgers & Hammerstein__ reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR OKLAHOMA!
An invigorating re-imagination of a classic, changing nothing and everything through innovative interpretation and direction.
8 / 10
The darker elements of the musical are spaced out with moments of relief, brought about by the subplot and the general horniness of the entire cast. The love triangle among Ado Annie (Georgina Onuorah), Will Parker (James Patrick Davis) and Ali Hakim (Stavros Demetraki) is a funfest of sexual desires in a literal sense. There is hardly a moment that these three can keep their hands off each other. The trio are a menace to the audience sitting in the front row, who are the victims of winks, flirtations and also splashes of water.
This reimagining of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1943 musical is utterly thrilling
8 / 10
Believe the hype. Daniel Fish’s radical staging of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Western musical from 1943 is utterly thrilling. Though the music is as gorgeous as ever, this version strips away many of the folksy, hokey accretions the show has acquired over the years and finds something much darker and more powerful.
