Celebrating its 80th anniversary on Broadway 2023, the tune-packed show must have been a delight for audiences experiencing the very first collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The original production opened on March 31, 1943 and was a box office hit, running for an unprecedented 2,212 performances, later enjoying award-winning revivals, national tours, foreign productions and an Oscar-winning 1955 film adaptation. It has long been a popular choice for school and community productions and won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944. The bright and breezy Overture presents many of the shows great songs, including The Farmer and The Cowman, People Will Say We're In Love, Out of My Dreams and of course, Oklahoma! A sure-fire way to get a concert started is with an overture, so why not try this one with your band, it's bound to be a crowd-pleaser!
