Based on the 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs, Oklahoma! remains one of the most acclaimed and popular American musicals ever written. Oklahoma! brought together for the first time composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The duo would go on to write 9 Broadway musicals together, but none would be as important for the development of American musical theatre as Oklahoma! A milestone in its fusion of story, song and dance, the production even featured a dream ballet (choreographed by Agnes de Mille) which revealed the main characters hidden fears and desires. The Huntington Playhouse Production was Directed by Geoffrey Short with Musical Direction by Kira Seaton and Choreography by Alex Tepe.  Stage Manager was Keith Stevens.  http://oklahoma.8k.com/Oklahoma/Meet_the_Director.htmlshapeimage_9_link_0
