Oklahoma!

The groundbreaking musical that set the stage for all that followed! 

The award-winning Bath Operatic and Dramatic Society return to the Main House with a rip-roaring Rodgers & Hammerstein classic - a lively, tuneful musical full of cowboys, farmers, romance and fearless optimism!

In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colourful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. The rousing score includes the infamous title number Oklahoma!, the charming Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, The Surrey with the Fringe on Top and People Will Say We’re in Love, alongside the rib-tickling I Cain’t Say No.

Bath Operatic and Dramatic Society return following their previous successes with 9 to 5, Guys and Dolls, Legally Blonde and the Rose Bowl Award winning Crazy For You.
