Theatre group brings the Wild West to Neath with Rodgers and Hammerstein classic musical

The group, which formed in 2012 have performed a number of hit shows over the years, including Into the Woods, Chess, Grease, Shrek, Legally Blonde and most recently the welsh amateur adult premier of The Phantom Of The Opera.

Simon Dunsford from Stars said: “This is the 2nd time we have performed Oklahoma but this time we have a fresh new immersive theatre experience for the audience where the audience will feel part of the show as Aunt Eller’s farm is brought to life to help celebrate 80 years of this show.

“We are very excited and we have two cast members who both bring their own spin to each character in the show which makes every show different.”

Oklahoma! was first premiered in 1943 and is attributed with starting the golden age of American musical theatre.

Set in the early 1900s just as the Oklahoma Territory is on the brink of becoming the 46th state, it tells the story of a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys that paves the road to true love.

The musical features popular songs such as Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’, I Can’t say No, and the titular Oklahoma!

Stars Musical Theatre Group perform at the Gwyn Hall in Neath from 3 to 7 October.
