Q

Why was Oklahoma a risky investment?

A

Theatre Guild was low on funds and Rodgers without Hart was unheard of. Hammerstein II was considered old-school and the opening didn’t have any flashy show girls to lure (male) audience members. Also, it was set in a bucolic and simple environment and not an urban and chic city.
