Oh, what a beautiful day! The revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s [*Oklahoma!*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/26450-oklahoma) at [Wyndham's Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/wyndhams-theatre) has announced two new cast members joining on 3 July.

Sam Palladio, star of the hit ABC musical drama *Nashville*, will star as Curly McLain, and Lizzie Wofford will take over the role of Gertie Cummings. They replace Olivier Award winner Arthur Darvill and Rebekah Hinds, respectively.

*Oklahoma!* centers around the battle between a cowboy, Curly, and a farmhand, Jud, for farmgirl Laurey's heart — and the dark sides of that desire. Director Daniel Fish's production, which won Best Musical Revival awards on Broadway and in the West End, uncovers the sexy and somber side of the classic musical without changing a word of the text.

## Who is in the *Oklahoma!* West End cast?

The current *Oklahoma!* cast includes James Patrick Davis as Will Parker, Stavros Demetraki as Ali Hakim, Greg Hicks as Andrew Carnes, David King-Yombo as Mike, Anoushka Lucas as Laurey Williams, Marie-Astrid Mence as the Lead Dancer, Paige Peddie as Ado Annie, Sally Ann Triplett as Aunt Eller, and Patrick Vaill as Jud Fry.

Daniel Fish reimagines *Oklahoma!* for the 21st century — this is Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical like you've never seen it before. *Oklahoma!* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

The *Oklahoma!* musical is based on Lynn Riggs’s 1931 play, *Green Grow the Lilacs.* Set at the turn of the state formation, the musical follows cowboy Curly McClain and farmhand Jud Fry as they try to impress farmgirl Laurey Williams. As the courtship rivalry intensifies, the love triangle is further locked in — who will win Laurey’s heart? At the same time, there’s also romances between Ado Annie and cowboy Will Parker, and plenty of geographical discussions. Can the farmers and the cowmen be friends? 

Daniel Fish adapted *Oklahoma!* for a modern-day audience to high acclaim: *Oklahoma!* won two Olivier Awards: Best Musical Revival, and Best Actor in a Musical (Arthur Darvill). The show also received Olivier nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical (Liza Sadovy and Marisha Wallace), Best Actress in a Musical (Anoushka Lucas), Best Sound Design (Drew Levy), Best Original Score (Daniel Kluger & Nathan Koci).

When [*Oklahoma!* played at the Young Vic, we said](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/oklahoma-review-young-vic): “director Daniel Fish’s production showcases the seductive elements of the story about the divisions in a local community on the brink of the titular territory’s statehood.” All the original *Oklahoma!* songs feature in the musical, such as “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’”, “People Will Say We’re in Love” and “Cain’t Say No." Even though none of the original words have changed in this adaptation, there's a darker, grittier feel. 

### When was the *Oklahoma* musical written? 

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II penned *Oklahoma!* in 1943 — the show changed the history of musical theatre. It's considered to be the first show of its kind that incorporate songs and dances to move the story forward. The musical also saw Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II collaborate for the first time. The pair worked well together, later creating *South Pacific,* *The King and I* and *The Sound of Music.* 

Tickets to *Oklahoma!* are available now. Book your *Oklahoma!* tickets on London Theatre today.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's *Oklahoma!* reinvented the American musical. Now, it's back with a bang. Discover how a community came together and how the United States changed in this Olivier-winning musical revival, starring Olivier winner Arthur Darvill as Curly. Learn more about *Oklahoma!* at the Wyndham's Theatre today.

This isn’t your typical *Oklahoma!* in London. A seven-piece band play reorchestrated arrangements of all the musical theatre classics, like “People Will Say We’re In Love,” “Many a New Day,” as well as an electrifying 15-minute dream ballet. 

Similar to Oklahoma’s lengthy transition to becoming a state, this *Oklahoma!* musical journey to the stage took many years. Daniel Fish’s adaptation started out at Bard SummerSpace in 2015, but quickly gained momentum with an Off-Broadway run at St Ann’s Warehouse. The show then transferred to the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway, picking up eight Tony Award nominations. 

## What To Watch For:

- Lynn Rigg's 1931 play, *Green Grow the Lilacs,* inspired Rodgers and Hammerstein to create their debut musical. While *Green Grow the Lilacs* only ran for 64 performances, *Oklahoma!* earned Rodgers and Hammerstein an honorary Pulitzer Prize, and regular revivals on Broadway and in the West End.
- Two of the *Oklahoma!* cast members continue with the musical in the West End. Patrick Vaill and Patrick Davis played Jud Fry and Will Parker on Broadway, in the Young Vic, and now in the West End.
