A Texas Center for Arts + Academics Signature Performance, "Oklahoma!" is a joint collaboration of FWAFA's Theatre and Dance departments.

Texas Center for Arts + Academics and Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts Present: Oklahoma!&quot;Oh, what a beautiful day!&quot; Come see the FWAFA stage become O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A-!As the sun rises on the plains of Oklahoma in 1906, we bask in the warm glow of a budding romance between the charismatic Curly and the lovely Laurey. Living with her Aunt Eller, Laurey catches the eye of farmhand Jud, who will compete with Curly for her hand and her heart. Meanwhile, Ado Annie, an exuberant romantic, falls for both the dashing young cowboy, Will Parker and Ali Hakim, the traveling salesman. The two young women must choose which path to take as tensions rise at the Box Social dance. Alive with a magnificent score, diverse styles of dance, and a cast of spirited characters, Oklahoma! is a tale for all to see. A classic for years to come! Show is appropriate for all ages.*This production contains loud gunshot effects and fog.About this Musical: This year, Concord Theatricals and The Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein Organization are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the partnership of Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein. In July 1942, the Theatre Guild announced — and The New York Times shared — that Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II were joining forces to create a new musical. That musical would eventually become Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! A milestone in the development of the American musical, it also marked the beginning of the most successful partnership in Broadway musical history, and was followed by Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, Cinderella and The Sound of Music.Over the course of their career, Rodgers and Hammerstein earned thirty-five Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, two Emmys, two Grammy Awards, and the 1944 Pulitzer in Special Awards and Citations for Oklahoma!
