John and John take a look at one of the highlights of the Golden Age of Broadway, as well as the show that started the phenomenon on "Rodgers and Hammerstein" by looking at their 1943 show, "Oklahoma". The duo talk about the role of ballet (and dance in general) in the narrative process, the necessary nature of a villain in a story, and the difference between creative vision and "tinkering".
Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II
