Long Eaton Operatics Society

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s ground-breaking musical Oklahoma! was the first musical to tell a story with music, dance and lyrics and Long Eaton Operatic Society will be performing it this April. Set in the US state of Oklahoma in 1906, the rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides a vibrant setting against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Of course, the road to true love never runs smooth, and love rivals, social dances and Persian peddlers all make for a bumpy ride. The musical contains some of the most celebrated songs in musical theatre including "Oh What a Beautiful Morning", "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top", “People Will Say We're in Love”, "I Can't Say No", "Oklahoma!” making this a musical treat for all the family.
