Two new actors will be joining the company of Oklahoma! the Olivier Award-winning West End revival of the classic musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein at the Wyndham's Theatre on July 3rd.
Joining the production next month will be Sam Palladio, star of the hit ABC TV drama Nashville, who will take on the role of Curly McLain, and Lizzie Wofford will play Gertie Cummings. The pair will replace Arthur Darvill and Rebekah Hinds, respectively.
The plot of Oklahoma! focuses on a battle between cowboy Curly, and farmhand Jud, who are both smitten and jockeying to win farmgirl Laurey's heart — and the darker sides of their ambition. Daniel Fish directs the production, which won 'Best Musical Revival' awards both on Broadway and in the West End and exposes the sexy and somber sides of the classic musical without changing any of the text.
The current cast of Oklahoma! features James Patrick Davis as Will Parker, Patrick Vaill as Jud Fry, Greg Hicks as Andrew Carnes, Stavros Demetraki as Ali Hakim, Marie-Astrid Mence as the Lead Dancer, David King-Yombo as Mike, Paige Peddie as Ado Annie, Anoushka Lucas as Laurey Williams, and Sally Ann Triplett as Aunt Eller.
Booking & Theatre Info For Oklahoma!
The Wyndham's Theatre is a medium size West End theatre located next to Leicester Square station with a capacity of 878 seats.
The theatre is set across four levels and generally has good views available throughout, Each level is both shallow and features extremely raked seating, however, some of the seats at the ends of rows do have minor restrictions.
Premium seats are in the front of the Royal Circle, in the centre of rows B-F that have views that will not be obstructed by audience members in front due to the high rake and offer completely unobstructed views of the stage. The front of the Stalls section is also a good option for intimate plays, although due to the high stage in the venue, it can pay to sit more than three rows back.
Theatregoers on a budget looking to book cheap Oklahoma tickets can find great value in both the Grand Circle and Balcony which both offer exceptionally clear, although distant, views of the stage. Other value can be found by studying the seating plan to exploit cut-off points in the price bands throughout the theatre and also by sitting towards the ends of rows or further back in the auditorium to bring prices down.
