Writer: Rose Center TheaterRose Center Theater

Reimagining a Classic with Daring Vision and Unparalleled Talent

If you think you know Oklahoma!, think again. The Rose Center Theater’s electrifying revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s legendary musical has audiences and critics alike enthralled, delivering a powerful, modernized take on this Broadway classic. With only three performances left before the final curtain call on March 9, now is the time to secure your seat for this must-see theatrical experience.



A Critically Acclaimed Spectacle

Reviewers have hailed Director Tim Nelson’s bold vision, bringing newfound depth to the beloved musical while maintaining its heartwarming and powerful storytelling. TheShowReport applauds the production as “beautifully different but richly elucidated with newfound relevance.” From themes of love and longing to issues of community and justice, this Oklahoma! is anything but predictable.


Orange County News echoes the praise, calling the production “virtually stunning” and celebrating its “extraordinary musical score, vibrant set, and lighting design.” Under Nelson’s expert direction, the show finds fresh energy while honoring the original masterpiece that helped define the Golden Age of Broadway.


Standout Performances That Shine

At the core of the production is a dynamic and talented cast that brings the story to life with raw emotion, charm, and impeccable vocal prowess.

  • Mikey Smith (Curly) and Hannah Huntington (Laurey) lead the show with undeniable chemistry, capturing the push-and-pull of young love with nuance and passion. Their rendition of “People Will Say We’re in Love” is a breathtaking highlight that will leave audiences spellbound.

  • Chris Caputo’s portrayal of Jud Fry is hauntingly intense, a masterful balance of vulnerability and menace that adds layers to the show’s antagonist.

  • Colette Peters steals the spotlight as the comedic firecracker Ado Annie, delivering a show-stopping “I Cain’t Say No” that has the audience roaring with laughter.

  • Eric Dobson as Will Parker and Vincent Aniceto as Ali Hakim round out a phenomenal supporting cast, delivering knockout performances that keep the energy high.



A Visually Stunning Production

From sweeping set designs to striking costume work, Oklahoma! at Rose Center Theater is a feast for the senses. The choreography, led by Jennifer Simpson-Matthews and Diane Makas, elevates the production to dazzling new heights, most notably in the mesmerizing dream ballet sequence featuring Sofia Aniceto and Taven Blanke.


With breathtaking lighting design by Caputo and vibrant costumes curated by Carole Zelinger, every detail of the production has been meticulously crafted to transport audiences to the Oklahoma territory of the early 1900s, while simultaneously resonating with modern themes and sensibilities.


Don’t Miss Your Final Chance to See This Spectacular Production

The clock is ticking, and with only three performances left—Friday, March 7th at 7:30 PM, Saturday, March 8th at 7:30 PM, and a matinee on Sunday, March 9th at 2 PM—this is your last opportunity to experience this breathtaking production before it takes its final bow.


Join the audiences who have been swept away by the raw emotion, breathtaking performances, and masterful storytelling of Oklahoma! at Rose Center Theater.
