Playbill will continue to update this list as reviews come in.
Rounding out the cast are Raphael Bushay as Mike, Greg Hicks as Andrew Carnes, Rebekah Hinds as Gertie Cummings, Ashley Samuels as Cord Elam, and Marie Mence as the lead dancer.
Written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, the work is based on Lynn Riggs' play Green Grow the Lilacs. Fish's re-imagined and re-orchestrated revival brings the timely story of a tight-knit community banding together against an outsider and the impact of frontier life on shaping the United States into a new vision without altering the original text.
Oklahoma! is co-directed by Fish and Jordan Fein with orchestrations and arrangements by Daniel Kluger. Kluger and Nathan Koci serve as music supervisors. The creative team features choreographer John Heginbotham, set designers Laura Jellinek and Grace Laubacher, costume designer Terese Wadden, lighting designer Scott Zielinski, sound designer Drew Levy, projection designer Joshua Thorson, and musical director Tom Brady. Sam Lilja is dialect coach, and casting is by Jacob Sparrow.
