The musical "Oklahoma!" is coming to San Marin High School. Sixty-six San Marin students plus six younger community members make up the cast, tech crew and orchestra that will be launching the production on March 25.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s timeless music is perfectly paired with the story based on Lynn Riggs play “Green Grow the Lilacs." Some of the original Agnes de Mille dances have been recreated and adapted by student choreographers. The production is directed by Pat Nims, with musical direction by Emily Gates, and the orchestra led by Samantha Maaslehbrown.
The roles of Laurey, Will, Ado Annie, Aunt Eller, Jud and Gertie have all been double cast.
