Oklahoma! opened on Broadway in 1943 and transferred to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for its West End premiere in 1947. Set in 1906 in rural Oklahoma, the musical tells the story of farm girl Laurey Williams and her courtship by two rival suitors, cowboy Curly McLain and farmhand Jud Fry.

Oklahoma! was Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration, and features songs such as "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’", "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top", and the titular title song "Oklahoma!".
