Converse Theatre and Dance: “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown
PEACE BROADWAY: OKLAHOMA!
Sense and Sensibility
Converse Theatre and Dance department will perform “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. These are ticketed events. Converse students, staff, and faculty: FREE All other tickets: $10
“How is it that the coolest new show on Broadway is a 1943 musical?” says The New York Times.
This is Oklahoma! as you’ve never seen or heard it before — reimagined for the 21st century, and now the Tony Award® winner for Best Revival of a Musical. Funny and sexy, dark and jolting, this acclaimed production of Oklahoma! “lets us experience Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatness anew” (The New Yorker).
Stripped down to reveal the darker psychological truths at its core, Daniel Fish’s production tells a story of a community circling its wagons against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke, this Oklahoma! allows the classic musical — and our country — to be seen in a whole new light.
“This production shocked me and moved me,” raves Frank Rich of New York Magazine. “This is the Oklahoma! that was there all along.” The Daily Beast raves “Forget your traditional idea of Oklahoma! Daniel Fish’s daring, brilliant, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is dark and different — brilliantly so.”
