About the project: Oklahoma! is the first musical written by the duo of Rodgers and Hammerstein. The musical is based on Lynn Riggs's 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs.

A handsome young cowboy of great skill – and he knows it. Hailing himself as the "best bronc buster" in the territory, Curly thinks everything's going his way. He is in pursuit of Laurey and doesn’t quite understand why she hasn’t fallen instantly for him. Though he finds competition in the hired farmhand Jud Fry, Curly ultimately gets his girl. Vocal Range: Baritone
Aunt Eller's niece, growing into a young lady, Laurey is at an age where she wants many things that she can't seem to make up her mind, including who should take her to the Box Social. She is independent and fiercely stubborn, and while her affection leans to Curly, she questions social expectations and hesitates to admit it to him. In the end, Laurey does what she needs to do, boldly, by firing Jud and choosing Curly. Vocal Range: Soprano
Aunt Eller and Laurey's rough-hewn farmhand, Jud lives in a smokehouse, where he displays farm tools and postcards of nude women. A social outcast, he has a murky and questionable past. Lonely and misunderstood, Jud is desperate for connection, making his desire for Laurey both heartbreaking and potentially dangerous. Vocal Range: Baritone
Charming and goofily thick-headed, Will is a prize-winning steer roper who just got back from the Kansas City Fair, where he won the $50 he needs to marry Ado Annie, his promised girl.

Vivacious, playful and open-hearted, Ado Annie has just discovered what it means to be an attractive young girl – men hadn’t paid any mind until recently.
