In August 2006 RicNic produced the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical 'Oklahoma!'. The show ran for five nights, from Monday 28th August until Friday 1st September. It was a complete sell-out, and was enthusiastically received by all the audiences.
A collection of photos of the production and rehearsal period is available in the photo section. The programme can be downloaded here.
Below is a selection of comments from the audiences we received:
"I loved Oklahoma! I was brought up on Rodgers and Hammerstein and your show was a gloriously sentimental occasion for me and it was beautifully done. Revelations throughout!"
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience"
"A quite, quite remarkable show"
"It was moving, entertaining and a real achievement"
