In this book Tim Carter offers the first fully documented history of the making of this celebrated American musical.Drawing on research from rare theater archives, manuscripts, journalism, and other sources, Carter records every step in the development of Oklahoma! The book is filled with rich and fascinating details about how Rodgers and Hammerstein first came together, the casting process, how Agnes de Mille became the show's choreographer, and the drafts and revisions that ultimately gave the musical its final shape. Carter also shows the lofty aspirations of both the creators and producers and the mythmaking that surrounded Oklahoma! from its very inception, and demonstrates just what made it part of its times. 606 $aMusicals$xProduction and direction$zNew York (State)$zNew York 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMusicals$xProduction and direction 676 $a792.6/42 700 $aCarter$b Tim$f1954-$01006609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451644903321 996 $aOklahoma$92442741 997 $aUNINA
