<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The “beautiful mornin'” that "Oklahoma!" promised was nothing less than The American Dream. Now—75 years after its Broadway premiere—the musical reaffirms the strength
of our national character. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first musical opened during the dark days of World War II, when the outcome of the war was far from certain.
<br>
<br>
This multi-media concert includes live performances of the musical’s beloved songs, interviews and creator testimony, footage of Agnes de Mille’s dream ballet and the surprising patriotic back-story of its creation. The show is hosted by Bill Rudman and Nancy
Maier and features Ursula Cataan, Lindsey Sandham Leonard, Joe Monaghan, Shane Patrick O’Neill and Fabio Polanco.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
