New casting has been announced for the critically acclaimed production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!.

David King-Yombo (The Visit) will be joining the cast as Mike, Paige Peddie (The Lion King) as Ado Annie, and Sally Ann Triplett (Piaf) as Aunt Eller. Their first performances will be 15 May.

These new cast members will be playing alongside the current cast members Arthur Darvill (Curly McLain), James Patrick Davis (Will Parker), Stavros Demetraki (Ali Hakim), Greg Hicks (Andrew Carnes), Rebekah Hinds (Gertie Cummings), Anoushka Lucas (Laurey Williams), Marie-Astrid Mence (Lead Dancer), and Patrick Vaill (Jud Fry).

The show is currently running at the Wyndham’s Theatre until 2 September 2023, having recently won the 2023 WhatsOnStage and Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, with Arthur Darvill also collecting the Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical.

The show has also won the Critics’ Circle and Evening Standard Award for Best Musical, and Best Musical Performance for Patrick Vaill.

Producers have set aside a number of £10 tickets for Monday to Wednesday performances, specifically aimed at those currently under-represented in West End theatre audiences. These tickets are made available through an outreach programme run by Sita McIntosh of Inclusive Audiences.

The production has been reimagined for the stage by Daniel Fish and enjoyed a sold-out run at the Young Vic last year.
