Oklahoma! 1979 Revival Cast

Directed by William Hammerstein, the son of Rodgers' lyricist partner Oscar Hammerstein II, the new 1979 Broadway revival production was a faithful reproduction of the wildly successful original, retaining the Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations conducted by Jay Blackton, who had wielded the baton back in 1943 as well as for the 1955 film version. Even Agnes De Mille's revolutionary choreography was reproduced. (Sony)
