"Revised and updated, it includes a special section on the Royal National Theatre/Cameron Mackintosh production of Oklahoma!, presented on Broadway in 2002. Ok! The Story of "Oklahoma!" celebrates this watershed work that has taken its place in the pantheon of American musical theatre."--BOOK JACKET.
