Full casting has been revealed for the upcoming West End transfer of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!.
The acclaimed revival will transfer from the Young Vic theatre to Wyndham’s Theatre on 28 February 2023, with previews from 16 February, and run until 2 September 2023. Tickets are on sale now here.

Reimagined by Daniel Fish, the revival comes to the West End following a sold-out run at the Young Vic earlier this year, having previously transferred to Broadway from St. Ann’s Warehouse.
Forget what you think it is… this is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! as you’ve never seen it before – re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival, Daniel Fish’s bold interpretation recently enjoyed a sold-out run at the Young Vic following sold-out runs in New York and across the U.S. on tour.
Oklahoma! tells a story of a community banding together against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Eighty years after Rodgers & Hammerstein reinvented the American musical, this visionary production is funny and sexy, provocative and probing, without changing a word of the text.
Directed by Daniel Fish, the production has orchestrations, arrangements and co-Music supervision by Daniel Kluger, choreography by John Heginbotham, scenic design by Lael Jellinek & Grace Laubacher, costume design by Terese Wadden, lighting design by Scott Zielinski, sound design by Drew Levy, projection design, Joshua Thorson and co-music supervision and additional vocal arrangements Nathan Koci.
