Life on the Stage: Oklahoma! on Broadway

Q&A lead dancer Gabrielle Hamilton, actor Patrick Vaill, producer Eva Price & music director Nathan Koci with moderator Dori Berinstein

Winner of two Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical!

“How is it that the coolest new show on Broadway is a 1943 musical? Daniel Fish’s wide-awake, jolting, and altogether wonderful production of Oklahoma! is as stimulating and frightening— and as fresh— as last night’s fever dream” (The New York Times).

Join us for an evening celebrating the all-new, reimagined production of the classical musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!— the recent recipient of eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Musical. The evening will feature clips of musical numbers from both the Broadway show and the original Oscar-winning 1955 film, and conversation with members of the cast and creative team, moderated by four-time Tony-winning Broadway producer, Emmy Award-winning director, and JBFC Board Member, Dori Berinstein, about the process of innovating and modernizing a beloved classic across artistic mediums.

Life on the Stage series is presented in partnership with The Actors Fund, a national human services organization that helps everyone- performers and those behind the scenes- who work in performing arts and entertainment. Programs include social services and emergency financial assistance, health care and insurance counseling, housing, and employment and training services www.actorsfund.org.
