The reason lied in the Oklahoma! opened on Broadway in that year. This musical succeeded to break the traditional style of Europeanize operetta by local story with implied meaning which expressed America’s nationality and localization. Theatre Guild established in 1918 was an art theatre group. Due to the founder, Lawrence Langer’s long-run operation and Theresa Helburn’s attitude in respecting professional, Theatre Guild could then overcome the financial problems to successfully produce Oklahoma! Besides, the collaboration of composer and lyricist was different from anterior musical. With Oscar Hammerstein II writing lyric first and Richard Rodgers composing music later, Rodger’s rhythmic music perfectly matched Hammerstien’s lyricism, and with the songs linking up the story plots and expressing ideology, they greatly escalated the role of songs playing in musical.
