Oklahoma!, set in a Western Indian territory after
the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers
and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curley, a handsome
cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although
the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics
holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country
road. Oklahoma! is recognized as the "Musical of the Century".
