Oklahoma storm (h/t skohayes)
In the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Oklahoma!, Ado Annie is the comic foil to Laurey’s ingenue — Annie is half of the Second Couple, as it were. And one of her signature songs, “I Cain’t Say No,” perfectly summarizes Ado Annie’s plight.
The general plot goes like this:
Set in Western Indian Territory just after the turn of the 20th Century, the spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the backdrop for the love story between Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a beautiful farm girl. stageagent.com/...
Oklahoma! was a watershed in the development of modern musical theater.
This musical, building on the innovations of the earlier Show Boat, epitomized the development of the "book musical", a musical play where the songs and dances are fully integrated into a well-made story, with serious dramatic goals, that is able to evoke genuine emotions other than amusement.[2] en.wikipedia.org/...!
