I bought a ticket to Oklahoma! with no knowledge of the show. Should I watch/listen to it at all?


Basically title. I'll be in the city on Saturday and snagged a TDF ticket for the matinee. Price was a big motivator, but I've been intrigued by it for a while anyway based on the Tony attention it got and the love-it-or-hate-it word of mouth it's been getting here and on BWW.Anyway, my only knowledge of the show is that there are cowboys and it has that song "Oh what a beautiful morning". I know this revival is supposed to be a big departure from the way this show has been performed in the past, but would watching the movie or listening to the cast album add to my experience in any way? Would I appreciate the contrast or is it better to go into this show fresh and experience it solely as its own thing?
