__SOLD OUT IN NEW YORK. SOLD OUT AT THE YOUNG VIC__.
Forget what you think it is… this is __Rodgers & Hammerstein's__ *OKLAHOMA!* as you’ve never seen it before – re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century.
Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical Revival, __Daniel Fish's__ bold interpretation recently enjoyed a sold-out run at the Young Vic following sold-out runs in New York and across the U.S. on tour.
*OKLAHOMA!* tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Eighty years after __Rodgers & Hammerstein__ reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR OKLAHOMA!
There’s been much excitement about the West End transfer of Daniel Fish’s production
10 / 10
In previous incarnations, Jud (Patrick Vaill) is depicted as a menacing, dangerous man, and while he is still that, this Jud offers a deeper insight into the character. He's more vulnerable and, for possibly the first time, you feel some sort of sympathy for him. Vaill, who has been with Fish's production since its conception, portrays him as a misunderstood outsider, constantly battling his inner demons which makes the ending all the more devastating.
Captivating, offbeat and pulsing with sexual tension
8 / 10
Approaching the text with uncompromising clarity, director Fish intentionally excises much of the lightness from the show, excavating unspoken themes of sexual violence and criminal complicity along the way. Here, the unsettling number Pore Jud is Daid becomes a coercive act of emotional abuse. The closing wedding sequence has distinct echoes of Tarantino with its blood-splattered bridal party and deadpan dialogue.
