This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Music at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ. You'll have the chance to hear from one of our Music academics, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! in Context - Adaptation and Reception

The musical Oklahoma! by Rodgers and Hammerstein is often considered a turning point in Broadway history.

In this session, we'll consider how the musical came about, including its roots in the rarely-performed play Green Grow the Lilacs, and look at its enduring popularity.

We'll also think about the importance of the choreographer Agnes de Mille to telling the story of this show, and reflect on how we can locate the contribution of women to Broadway in an era when not a single musical had music by a woman.

This session is suitable for students in years 12 and 13.

It was really useful and insightful to what studying the subject is like at ºù«Ӱҵ
