About "Oklahoma!"
Oklahoma!, Rodgers and
Hammersteinˇ¦s first musical collaboration, opened in 1943. Most musicals in
that time were just songs and comedy and didn't have a complicated plot.
And the
songs didn't have a lot of meanings to the story. Oklahoma! is very different
from them because it has a plot, and the songs either help move the plot along
or help the audience understand the characters. The story is fun but also
serious. That's because Rodgers's and Hammerstein's backgrounds were quite
different. Rodgers's background was mostly in "fun" musicals, while Hammersteinˇ¦s
background was in
opera and operetta which were more serious than musicals. When Rodgers
worked with Hart, he wrote the music first, and then Hart wrote the lyrics. But
in this new team, Hammerstein wrote the words first and Rodgers created the
music to fit.
