A Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, the musical features a slate of songs that have become part of the American songbook, like “Oklahoma!, “, “Surrey With A Fringe On Top, “, “Oh, What A Beautiful Morning, “, “People Will Say We re In Love”, and others. The writers received a special Pulitzer Prize for this work in 1944.
