|
|
OKLAHOMA!
, opening at St. Ann's Warehouse this Fall, has announced the full cast for the upcoming production.
The show resurfaces as a fresh and daring new work with a seven-piece band playing all new arrangements of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved classics.

Ali Stroker
as Ado Annie. They will be joined by original cast members

Patrick Vaill
as Jud Fry,
Mary Testa
as Aunt Eller, and
James Patrick Davis
as Will Parke. Additional new cast members include
Michael Nathanson
as Ali Hakim and
Mitch Tebo
as Annie's Father.
“Daniel Fish’s vibrant, essential excavation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1943 classic asks that we listen with virgin ears…. And what do we hear? Why, America singing, of course, in all its insolence and innocence, its optimism and anxiety, its gregariousness and its guardedness — America as it was, and is, and probably shall ever be.” – Ben Brantley,
The New York Times
(2015)
The Off-Broadway run is presented by producer Eva Price and St. Ann’s Warehouse. Performances will begin September 27 in the Brooklyn theatre.
