__SOLD OUT IN NEW YORK. SOLD OUT AT THE YOUNG VIC__.
Forget what you think it is… this is __Rodgers & Hammerstein's__ *OKLAHOMA!* as you’ve never seen it before – re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century.
Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical Revival, __Daniel Fish's__ bold interpretation recently enjoyed a sold-out run at the Young Vic following sold-out runs in New York and across the U.S. on tour.
*OKLAHOMA!* tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Eighty years after __Rodgers & Hammerstein__ reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.
THE HYPE IS REAL, Y’ALL

‘*PUNCHY, PLAYFUL & SEXY. AN ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT!*’ __Daily Telegraph__

‘*LIVES UP TO THE THIRSTY HYPE*’ __Time Out__
With sex so firmly in the foreground, everything about this story shifts. In traditional productions, boy-crazy farm girl Ado Annie is pure comic relief. When she sings ‘I'm just a girl who can't say no!’, it's a straightforward excuse for some jolly old-timey slut-shaming. But here, Georgina Onuorah plays an Annie whose desires can't be so easily laughed at: she tenderly cradles her more prim and proper friend Laurey (Anoushka Lucas) in her arms as she sings about loving that's ‘sweeter than cream’, centimetres away from a kiss. And this Laurey is rapt, not judgemental.
This is no ordinary revival. Daniel Fish’s Tony award-winning production, which crossed the Atlantic to the Young Vic last year and now gets an upgrade to a traditional proscenium arch, is just the kind of experiment to set musical lovers at each other’s throats. Some will praise it as an audaciously grungy reinvention; others will call it sacrilege.
