Oklahoma! at DPAC – Durham Performing Arts Center

This is OKLAHOMA! as youve never seen or heard it beforereimagined for the 21st century, and now the Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Musical. Funny and sexy, dark and jolting, this acclaimed production of OKLAHOMA! lets us experience Rodgers and Hammersteins greatness anew. (The New Yorker). Stripped down to reveal the darker psychological truths at its core, Daniel Fishs production tells a story of a community circling its wagons against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke, this OKLAHOMA! allows the classic musical and our country to be seen in a whole new light. This production shocked me and moved me, raves Frank Rich of New York Magazine. This is the OKLAHOMA! that was there all along. The Daily Beast says Forget your traditional idea of OKLAHOMA! Daniel Fishs daring, brilliant, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is dark and differentbrilliantly so.
