{"product_id":"oklahoma-complete-original-score-lp","title":"Oklahoma (Complete Original Score) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! Was first performed in 1943; and was a significant turning point in the history of musical theatre. It was the first musical to put drama and plot to the fore; portrayed by rounded; believable characters. It swept aside traditions that had their roots in vaudeville - star turns; comic sketches; and endless lines of high-kicking chorus girls. Oklahoma! #does feature dance; but in the hands of the choreographer; Agnes de Mille; this was idiomatic to the plot; and revolutionary in terms of the fifteen-minute dream-sequence ballet at the close of Act I. The first collaboration between composer and writer; the show was a hit; running for more than five years on Broadway; and paving the way for their masterpieces to come. John Wilson's long-held fascination for researching original musical theatre scores of this period and bringing them anew to modern audiences reaches a milestone with this world première recording of the original score in it's entirety (no cuts) and in the original orchestrations for twenty-nine-piece orchestra made by Robert Russell Bennett for the original production. His outstanding cast features Nathaniel Hackmann; Sierra Boggess; Jamie Parker; Louise Dearman; Sandra Marvin; Rodney Earl Clarke; Nadim Naaman; and Leo Roberts; ably supported by the 'Oklahoma!' Ensemble - twenty-two artists drawn from London's West End. Wilson comments: 'I love the connective tissue of the piece; the scene-change music; the ballet; the songs that sometimes get cut; the underscoring. And when so many vastly different new versions are appearing on stage; it's more important than ever that we have a document of the actual source material.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Overture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh, What a Beautiful Mornin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaurey's Entrance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Surrey with the Fringe on Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKansas City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Surrey with the Fringe on Top (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cain't Say No!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOklahoma!~Opening Act I:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cain't Say No!
