Artifact Overview

Oh, what a beautiful morning! Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! opened on Broadway in 1943. This first collaboration from the now-famous musical duo interwove music, lyrics, dance -- and yes -- ballet to advance a dramatic storyline about love and life among ranchers and farmers in the American heartland. Audiences and critics raved. American musical theater would never be the same.
