Oklahoma! is a film adaptation of the 1943 stage musical of the same name by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The story is set in Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900s and revolves around the love triangle between cowboy Curly McLain, farm girl Laurey Williams, and farmhand Jud Fry.
The film features classic songs such as "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," and "People Will Say We're in Love." It was filmed on location in Napa Valley, California, and the production design captures the sweeping landscapes and rustic charm of the Midwest.
In addition to Jackman, Gabrielle, and Lipman, the cast includes Shuler Hensley as the menacing Jud Fry, Peter Polycarpou as Ali Hakim, and Vicki Simon as Ado Annie. The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising the performances and production values while others questioned the decision to adapt a classic musical with such fidelity. Nevertheless, Oklahoma! remains a beloved classic of the American musical theatre canon.
