Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! Comes to the Tulsa PAC

The Tulsa Performing Arts Center is proud to announce its next original production: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, running July 24–August 16, 2026 in the Williams Theatre.

Following the PAC’s critically acclaimed productions of Ragtime and Fiddler on the Roof, this new staging continues our tradition of bringing Broadway-caliber storytelling to Tulsa with community at its heart.

Directed by Mark Frie

The production will be led by TPAC CEO Mark Frie, who portrayed Jud Fry for decades at Discoveryland in Sand Springs, the National Home of Oklahoma!. Frie first took the stage there in 1977—the same year the Tulsa PAC opened its doors—making this production a full-circle moment that celebrates both local and national theatre heritage.

A Celebration of Tradition and Community

In tribute to Discoveryland’s beloved legacy, audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy optional ticket add-ons, including a classic Oklahoma BBQ meal and Berries and Cream before the show. Guests can also look forward to live pre-show entertainment featuring cast members and local musicians, making each evening a true community celebration.

Part of the Route 66 Centennial

This production proudly joins the official Route 66 Centennial celebrations, honoring the cultural traditions and stories that connect Oklahoma to the nation and beyond.

Save the Dates

Mark your calendars for July 24–August 16, 2026. Tickets will be available this spring. Casting begins in early 2026 — stay tuned for exciting announcements about auditions, design reveals, and more.
