Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA! will be playing at the Derby Dinner Playhouse through May 27th, and this may just be one of the Derby's best musicals yet. With phenomenal casting and this beloved tale from Rodgers and Hammerstein, there's reason enough to buy your tickets now! 

OKLAHOMA! was the first collaboration from this legendary duo, as they spun the tale of courtship in the Western Indian Territory in 1907, as two rivals battle for the hand of Laurey, a farm girl who dreams of love.

OKLAHOMA! is under the direction of Lee Buckholz with choreography by Heather Paige Folsom and Musical Direction by Scott Bradley.  The cast will include DDP newcomers Kaitlyn Sage as Laurey and Ryan Skerchak as Curly.  Other cast members are Matthew Brennan, Cami Glauser Bibelhauser, Mandi Elkins Hutchins, Bobby Conte and more!

Sage is flawless in the role of Laurey, as her clear voice resonates throughout the audience in songs like "People Will Say We're in Love," with a brilliant chemistry with Skerchak, and "Many a New Day." 

Glauser as Ado Annie is an absolute riot, bringing down the house with "I Can't Say No." And if you're ready for an amazing display of song-and-dance routines, don't take your eyes off Brennan for a moment in his depiction of Will.

The Derby Dinner Playhouse is located in Clarksville, Indiana... right over the bridge from Louisville, Kentucky. It is a theater in the round, and has been in operation since 1974, making it one of the oldest and largest continuously operating theatres in the country! 

You will always receive a top-notch production for your ticket price, along with a mouth-watering meal, served buffet style, boasting favorites like fried fish, mouth-watering pasta selections and a meat-carving station. Some of the best desserts around are also offered, like the Orange Pistachio Cake!
