Oklahoma! - this beloved and familiar musical is set around the early 1900s' the territory (about to become the new state) of Oklahoma. Curly is a stubborn cowboy who had trouble admitting his feelings to Laurey, who is just as stubborn (not to mention prideful) and is cautious about admitting her feelings to him. The story is also set around Ado Annie trying to choose between Will, who has strong feelings for her, and the peddler, who thinks he's a ladies' man and doesn't really want to marry her. Judd, Laurey and Aunt Eller's hired hand, tries to come between Laurey and Curly, because he is alone and has a "hankerin" for Miss Laurey. This musical brought to audiences everywhere such great songs as the title song "Oklahoma," the ballad "Out of My Dreams," "I Can't Say No," "Oh What a Beautiful Morning," and "Kansas City" among others.
