Asheville Bravo Concerts to present ‘Oklahoma!’

Press release here:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, two Academy Awards, a Grammy and a special Tony Award, Oklahoma! is the classic American musical that launched the remarkable songwriting collaboration of Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein. On Saturday, October 23rd, Asheville Bravo Concerts welcomes a new tour from New York City of this hugely popular musical to the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.

With a record-breaking opening run on Broadway, Oklahoma! ushered in the “Golden Age” of American musical theatre, inspiring the Oscar-winning film adaptation and countless revivals over the years. Set in turn of the century Oklahoma against a backdrop of the high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys, Oklahoma! is the cherished love story of Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl.

Featuring such favorite numbers as “People Will Say We’re In Love,” “Oh What A Beautiful Mornin,’” and “Surrey With A Fringe On Top,” and, of course, the show-stopping title song, this is the show the New York Times calls, “The Great American Musical.”
