Saddle up for Oklahoma!
Rodgers and Hammerstein classic comes to Milton Keynes Theatre.
IT'S time to saddle up and get the chaps out for a night of Wild West fun when the classic musical Oklahoma! rides into Milton Keynes Theatre.
West End and international musical theatre star Marti Webb and runner-up in the BBC's Your Country Needs You Mark Evans will headline one of the most popular and enduring musicals in history at the venue from June 29 to July 3.
Oklahoma! was the first real phenomenon in modern musical theatre history. Smashing all Broadway box office records when it opened in 1943, it was the first collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein, the legendary team who went on to create Carousel, The King and I and The Sound of Music.
Set on America's Western frontier, against a background of conflict between farmers and cattlemen, Oklahoma! tells the tale of farm girl Laurey and the two rivals for her affections, happy go-lucky cowboy Curly and the sinister farmhand Jud.
Marti Webb (Aunt Eller) is one of Britain's most popular leading ladies, whose extensive West End credits include Blood Brothers, Tell Me on a Sunday, Song & Dance, Evita, Cats and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Mark Evans (Curly) is best known as the runner up in the BBC's Your Country Needs You, Andrew Lloyd Webber's search for a singer to represent Britain in the Eurovision song contest.
Mark also has a string of musical theatre credits to his name, including Spamalot and Wicked in the West End, the part of internationally adored heart-throb Troy Bolton in the London cast of High School Musical and the role of cult movie icon Brad Majors in the tour of The Rocky Horror Show.
Saddle up and prepare to enjoy one of the most famous love stories in musical history.
