Besi Besemar March 8, 2015

Celebrate Americaā€™s pioneering spirit with the original feel-good, boot-stomping musical Oklahoma! which will ride into Eastbourneā€™sĀ Congress Theatre onĀ Tuesday, April 7.

Oklahoma!

AS REFRESHING and stirring as the day it was written over 70 years ago, this popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical features much-loved tunes and boot-stomping dances such asĀ Iā€™m Just a Girl Who Canā€™t Say No, Surrey With a Fringe on Top, Kansas City, People Will Say Weā€™re in LoveĀ and, of course, the rousing title song itself!

From the minute the rugged cowboy Curly steps on to the stage singingĀ Oh, What a Beautiful MorningĀ we know that all will be right with the world.

Head west and follow Curly and the girl of his dreams, Laurey, as they travel down loveā€™s highway on an extremely bumpy surrey ride.

OklahomaThis brand new production from the award-winning producers of The King and I and Fiddler on the RoofĀ stars Belinda Lang as Aunt Eller, Gary Wilmot as Ali Hakim, Ashley Day as Curly and Charlotte Wakefield as Laurey, is directed byĀ Rachel Kavanaugh andĀ featuresĀ a large cast and chorus as well as a live orchestra, bringing you romance, excitement and a score filled with sunshine.
