Condensed synopsis

Golden Age Musical

The original Broadway production opened on March 31, 1943. Golden Age Musicals are musicals that premiered within the 1940s & 1950s.

"People Will Say We're in Love"

Personal Rating

This song is enjoyable and lively. The clear tension between the two characters gives an interesting layer to the story. I enjoyed the witty lyrics and the sarcastic quips throughout the song. This song moves the story along nicely to the larger conflict between Laurey's two suitors.

10/10

In the Oklahoma territory during the turn-of-the-century land rush, a boastful cowboy named Curly and a surly ranch hand named Jud are both in love with Laurey. Though she really loves Curly, stubborn Laurey spites him by going to a dance with Jud. There, Curly proves his love by bidding all he owns for Laurey's lunch basket. They marry, and after the ceremony, Jud picks a fight with Curly and is killed by his own knife. After Curly is acquitted, the newlyweds ride off to celebrate their honeymoon.

Song Type

"People Will Say We're in Love"

Maureen Lipman & Hugh Jackman

Conditional Love Song:

Curly and Laurey are in love, though don't know it- or rather, they won't admit it. This song shows both characters' stubbornness and determination to not prove the others correct in their rumors about their "love". This song is a "buddy" duet rather than a romantic one.

1998
