The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that launched the Golden Age of Broadway comes to Northern Stage! Set in the Oklahoma Territory in 1906, Oklahoma! explores the conflict and opportunity that arose as the country expanded west. A revolution for the artform, the show reflected political and social changes in a way no other musical had dared to before. Laurey’s journey of independence and agency immortalized by the iconic “Dream Ballet,” solidifies the show as a beacon of change, not only for musical theater, but for the country as a whole.
