Arthur Darvill to lead 'Oklahoma!' West End cast
Many of the Young Vic cast reprise their roles.
You’re doing fine, Oklahoma, especially with this West End cast. Oklahoma! begins previews at the Wyndham’s Theatre on 16 February, ahead of an opening night on 28 February, and performances to 2 September. Book Oklahoma! tickets on London Theatre.
Oklahoma! played at the Young Vic earlier this year, and in a five-star Oklahoma! review, our critic said: “When this intimate and innovative revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic premiered in New York, many, including the cast, dubbed the show “Sexy Oklahoma.” It seems like a cliché to say that this show couldn’t be more timely, but unfortunately, its relevance just keeps getting, well, more relevant.”
Many of the Young Vic Oklahoma! cast will reprise their roles in the West End. The cast features Arthur Darvill as Curly McClain, Anoushka Lucas as Laurey Williams, Liza Sadovy as Aunt Eller, Patrick Vaill as Jud Fry, James Patrick Davis as Will Parker, Stavros Demetraki as Ali Hakim, Greg Hicks as Andrew Carnes, Rebekah Hinds as Gertie Cummings, Raphael Bushay as Mike, and Marie-Astrid Mence as the Lead Dancer. Full casting will be revealed at a later date.
Set at the turn of Oklahoma becoming an American state, Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical follows cowboy Curly and outsider Jud as they aim to woo farmgirl Laurey. Daniel Fish directs the two-time Tony Award-winning Oklahoma! revival — find out everything about Oklahoma! in the West End.
The show features choreography by John Heginbotham, scenic design by Lael Jellinek and Grace Laubacher, costume design by Terese Wadden, lighting design by Scott Zielinski, and sound design by Drew Levy.
Oklahoma! is at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
