The Nebraska Communities Playhouse (neplayhouse.com) Hickman Theater is thrilled to present the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Oklahoma! for a limited run February 28 – March 2 and March 7-9. Set in 1906 in farm country outside Claremore, Indian Territory, Oklahoma! is a heartwarming story of love, rivalry and community that has captured the hearts of audiences for generations.
In this iconic American musical, farm girl Laurey Williams finds herself caught between two very different suitors: the charming cowboy Curly McLain and the dark, brooding farmhand Jud Fry. Meanwhile, a secondary romance blossoms between cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancée, Ado Annie. With unforgettable songs such as “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” the iconic title song “Oklahoma!, and the “Dream Ballet,” the production promises a show-stopping evening of music, dance, and drama.
The production will be directed by Kate Wilcox, music direction is provided by Dr. Garrett Hope, and the production is choreographed by Amanda Smith. Oklahoma! kicks off the theater’s 2025 season that also includes Next to Normal, Seussical, Pirated, Walnut Ridge, and A Christmas Carol.
