DRAMATURG’S NOTES Theatre on the Precipice of Change When Oklahoma! premiered on Broadway, the tragedy of Pearl Harbor was fresh on the mind of the nation, and the United States had just joined the Allied Powers in World War II. Our country, and our world, was on the brink of change. This change also translated to a shift in popular theatre -- what had once been a vehicle for Tin Pan Alley songs was about to be reformed.

Oklahoma! was the first collaboration between the songwriting duo, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. It was originally commissioned by the Theatre Guild to be written by Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, but due to Hart’s failing health, Rodgers had to seek a new partner.

This classic show was revolutionary to musical theatre. Previously, shows had primarily been written around pre-existing music -- lightweight plots tying together toe-tapping tunes. Oklahoma!’s plot was already a wellloved and respected one -- Lynn Riggs’ Green Grow the Lilacs was originally a Broadway play. When the Theatre Guild commissioned Rodgers and Hammerstein to adapt it into a musical, the pair recognized that they had to write songs that arose out of and furthered the plot. The pair ushered in the age of the “book musical” - a stark contrast to the plots of their contemporaries. Even the Dream Ballet at the end of the first act of Oklahoma!, choreographed originally by Agnes de Mille, served to further the plot, as it gave the audience a look into Laurey’s inner turmoil. Rodgers and Hammerstein also reinvented the storytelling structure of love in the Broadway musical. The love songs in the score of Oklahoma! may seem ubiquitous to modern audiences, but previously, characters would fall in love through the course of one song, as exemplified by classic statements of adoration, like “For I’m in Love Again” (Sweet and Low), “I’ve Got a Crush on You” (Strike Up the Band), and “Boy! What Love Has Done to Me!” (Girl Crazy). Alternatively, Rodgers and Hammerstein changed the semantics to “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and “If I Loved You” in their later work, Carousel, creating the “conditional love ballad,” a device that lent the characters more believability.

Oklahoma! is a show about a people on the precipice of change, and the show itself served to change the function of the Broadway musical.

The clever writing style beautifully enhanced the plot and allowed the residents of Claremore, Oklahoma, to come to life, as they experience the excitement of the most important day in their lives.
