Set List'Oklahoma!' (Semi-staged), Rodgers and Hammerstein
Performance Notes‘Oklahoma! really is different – beautifully different,’ wrote one reviewer of the 1943 musical. Bursting not just with tunes but also with emotions, this first collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II brought new dramatic depth to the Broadway musical, creating a smash hit in the process.

Proms favourites John Wilson and his orchestra return to bring their signature energy and swagger to this beloved classic.

There was one interval.

The concert was broadcast live on BBC Four.
The concert was broadcast at 13:40 on 25 December 2017 on BBC Two.

A dress rehearsal for an invited audience, including Royal Albert Hall Friends & Patrons, was held at 10:00 on 10 August 2017.

Proms debuts from Belinda Lang, Nathaniel Hackmann, Robert Fairchild, Lizz, Marcus Brigstocke, Rachel Kavanaugh and Alistair David.
