Seeking Performers for “Oklahoma” Show

Singing Theater
Paying up to $546/week
Description

Seeking performers for fall production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, please see the details below.

About the project:
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful 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 amorous Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of newfound statehood!
