[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Come on out to the Old West with Valley Opera and Performing Arts’ (VOPA) biggest production to date – Oklahoma! – at the historic El Portal Theatre February 15-23.
About Oklahoma!
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.
Two incredible casts will alternate between eight performances over two weekends. If you saw VOPA’s smash hit, Fiddler on the Roof, last June, you’ll recognize some favorites on stage, including Tevye himself, Dylan F. Thomas. This is a production not to be missed, so bring your family along and enjoy the ride!
