Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!"

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!," easily one of the world's most beloved musical productions, sports a theme of celebration in relation to the spirit of rebirth and renewal. That this particular production openly addresses in the overwhelmingly difficult aspect of social change is indicative of its ability to reach out and connect with all who experience it. Based upon the Lynn Riggs play entitled "Green Grow the Lilacs," Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" touches upon the same components of social struggle that are found in the original adaptation; this version, however, does so in such a manner as to both enthrall and enlighten the audience. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
