Oklahoma! Discussion
Opening May 3rd and running through May 12th at Swamp Donkey's Theatre in Bragg Creek, Swamp Donkey presents Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, co-directed by Trisha Gizen and Melanie Baux. Kyle sits down with Melanie, also the musical director, and Trisha, also the set designer and both performers in the production, to discuss wearing all of these hats and how to bring this elder musical, one of the progenitors of the modern musical, to stage.

About the Show: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination, and the promise of a new land.
