★★★★★
Punchy, playful and sexy. An absolute knockout!
The Telegraph
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 new version feels 'so revitalised it might've been written yesterday' (The Guardian).
★★★★★
A stunningly re-imagined Oklahoma! that fizzes with vibrant comedy. Daniel Fish's staging celebrates this beloved musical while also finding more sinister truths in the story it tells about America.
Financial Times
Oklahoma! transfers to the West End, opening in 2023 at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
Eva Price, Sonia Friedman and Michael Harrison, in association with the Young Vic theatre, announce the West End transfer of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!.
Reimagined for the stage by Daniel Fish, the production played a sold-out run at the Young Vic earlier this year, having previously transferred to Broadway from St. Ann’s Warehouse winning the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival.
The best revival yet. This thrilling, Tony Award-winning production has an urgency and zest that beats any other version I’ve seen. The score is rigorously interrogated and sounds utterly fresh. A stunning reinvention!
