There is no better way to celebrate the spirit of the Sooner State than with a rousing production of Oklahoma!, and Tulsa’s own Performing Arts Center is doing exactly that. The Tulsa PAC has brought the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein classic to its stage for a summer run stretching from July 24 through August 16, giving Tulsans nearly four weeks to catch one of the most iconic American musicals ever written — and one with deep Oklahoma roots at that.

Oklahoma! first debuted on Broadway in 1943 and went on to become a landmark of American theater, celebrated for its sweeping score, memorable characters, and its vivid portrait of life on the Oklahoma frontier. Seeing it performed right here in Tulsa makes the experience all the more meaningful for local audiences who share a connection to the story’s setting and spirit.

The Tulsa PAC has long been a cornerstone of the city’s cultural life, and this summer production continues that proud tradition. Whether you are a lifelong theater enthusiast or bringing the kids to their very first live musical, a show like Oklahoma! offers something for every generation — from the soaring anthem “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'” to the foot-stomping energy of “The Farmer and the Cowman.”

With performances running through mid-August, there is still plenty of time to grab tickets and settle in for a night of world-class entertainment right in the heart of Tulsa. It is the kind of homegrown cultural moment that reminds residents just how vibrant and rich their city’s arts scene truly is. So round up the family, head downtown, and let the Tulsa PAC show you why Oklahoma! has enchanted audiences for more than eight decades.
