The Calumet Players will celebrate their 40th anniversary with a production of the classic musical Oklahoma! this weekend and next.
Oklahoma! was the first musical written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. It includes such legendary songs as “Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” “I Cain’t Say No,” “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and “Oklahoma.”
Yet, while the songs are spectacular, cast member Mariah Maggio says they’re also singable…
Director David Crowley suggested Oklahoma! because it’s been a while since it’s been performed locally…
Oklahoma! will be staged at the Calumet Theatre tomorrow and Saturday at 7:30, and next Friday and Saturday at 7:30, with a closing matinee next Sunday at 2:00. Tickets are available through the Calumet Theatre box office.
