MUSE/IQUE: PLENTY OF HEART, PLENTY OF HOPE

The Making of Oklahoma! and the Broadway Musical

Jul 26, 2024 - Jul 28, 2024

Oklahoma! was undoubtedly the first of its kind. In the early 1940s, Rodgers & Hammerstein did the then-inconceivable: they combined the complex storytelling of the typical stage play with the music and movement of traditional musicals. Oklahoma! broke and rewrote all the rules for what was possible on Broadway and opened the door for decades of revolutionary musicals yet to come.

Join MUSE/IQUE for the dazzling story of how the Broadway musical came to represent hope and wonder in American culture. We trace the history of the modern musical beginning with the provocative, unprecedented Oklahoma!, which dared to tackle darker themes and serious subject matter, all while capturing the hopeful, resilient spirit of the nation.

In the 80 years since, brave artists have continued to push the boundaries of Broadway even further. Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby leads us through some of Broadway’s most momentous numbers, from the groundbreaking Hamilton to the vibrant Hairspray, and inventive reimaginations of classic stories in The Wiz and West Side Story. This performance features soaring solos, stirring motifs, and Herman Cornejo solo dance numbers that will leave you feeling inspired to dream differently.
