Event description
Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colourful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of flirtatious farm girl Ado Annie and lasso-swingin’ cowboy Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination, and the promise of a new land.
