Event Navigation


The Oklahoma History Center will open its latest pictorial exhibit, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!: Musical Theatre at 75 on Saturday, March 31, the 75th anniversary of the opening of the musical on Broadway. The exhibit will feature twenty-one images, mostly black-and-white with some full-color posters included. The photos range from the Broadway production of the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs, which was the inspiration for Oklahoma!, through the original production of the musical in 1943 and images from the movie. The most recent picture is from a Discoveryland production in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, designated “the National Home of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!

This exhibit may be viewed in the Chesapeake Events Center. However, since the Chesapeake Events Center also is utilized for banquets, meetings, and performances, it is advised that patrons call ahead to assure that it is open to the public at the time of your visit.
