A complete behind-the-scenes look at the landmark show that
launched Rodgers and Hammerstein's creative partnership Oklahoma!
premiered on Broadway in 1943 under the auspices of the Theatre
Guild, and today it is performed more frequently than any other
Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. In this book Tim Carter offers the
first fully documented history of the making of this celebrated
American musical. Drawing on research from rare theater archives,
manuscripts, journalism, and other sources, Carter records every
step in the development of Oklahoma! The book is filled with rich
and fascinating details about how Rodgers and Hammerstein first
came together, the casting process, how Agnes de Mille became the
show's choreographer, and the drafts and revisions that ultimately
gave the musical its final shape. Carter also shows the lofty
aspirations of both the creators and producers and the mythmaking
that surrounded Oklahoma! from its very inception, and demonstrates
just what made it part of its times.
