Fox News
On this day in history, "Oklahoma!" — the musical written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II — opened on Broadway, paving the way for the next generation of musical theater.
It ran in that theater for almost five years, setting records with its 2,212 total performances. "A song about the bright gold haze on an Oklahoman meadow … may strike few people in the 21st century as revolutionary, but compared to what else was playing at the time, it was." — The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization "[Oklahoma] is a small human story, a sketch of characters and a swift-moving symbol of the spirit of the pioneer America about 1900." — Oscar Hammerstein II Sydney Borchers is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
"The next morning, rave reviews for ‘Oklahoma!’ poured in, and the box office was frenzied with theatergoers eager to claim their ticket to see the new musical critics were calling ‘a striking piece of theatrical Americana,'" the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization wrote.
