Oh, what a beautiful evenin'!
Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!

"...another terrific evening at Chanahssen Dinner Theatres. We loved OKLAHOMA!"
--WLTE Radio
"Oh, What a beautiful mornin', and evening too, for that matter! Delightful…a fresh telling of a beloved classic. Grandma will enjoy it and her grandchildren will too. No wonder it's been voted the #1 musical of the century by theatre critics. Check it out, you won't be disappointed."
--KARE 11, NBC
"Dieter Bierbrauer's voice resonates warmly with the cheerful optimism of a new day. The elation of the moment is raised even higher when Laurey, played by Katherine Strohmaier, and her Aunt Eller, played by Katherine Ferrand, join in for a buoyant 'The Surrey with the Fringe on Top.'"
--Twin Cities Arts Examiner
