Oklahoma! is the first musical written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. The play is set in farm country outside the town of Claremore, Indian Territory, in 1906. It tells the story of farm girl Laurey Williams and the courtship between Laurey and two rival suitors, cowboy Curly McLain and farmhand Jud Fry. Cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancée, Ado Annie, are a secondary love story in the musical. She is courted by the equally flirtatious peddler, Ali Hakim, while poor Parker is off in Kansas City.
