CYT Nashville’s “Oklahoma!”
2025-10-24 19:00 - 2025-10-26 15:00 | FSSD Performing Arts Center (PAC), 1030 Excellence Way, Franklin, TN, 37069, United States
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.

CYT Nashville’s “Oklahoma!” 2025 Dates / Times:

Friday, Oct 24th @ 7:00pm
Saturday, Oct 25th @ 2:00pm
