Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s 'Oklahoma!' stands as the single most revolutionary, history-making milestone in global musical theater history, running for an astonishing, record-shattering 2,212 performances during its historic 1943 premiere at the St. James Theatre. The brilliant masterpiece completely invented the modern integrated book musical format, seamlessly weaving a sweeping frontier romance script with timeless symphonic melodies and Agnes de Mille’s psychological dream ballet choreography to track the birth of a territory statehood community. The historic premiere starred Alfred Drake and Joan Roberts.
