Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is at Smothers Theatre, Malibu, on Nov 13, 2026, 7:30 PM.
Few musicals feel as wide open as Oklahoma!, and this run at Smothers Theatre puts it on the Malibu coast for about a week and a half. It opens Friday, Nov 13 at 7:30 PM and runs through Nov 21, which makes it an easy pick for LA events this weekend and the one after.
When: Nov 13 to Nov 21, 2026, opening night at 7:30 PM Where: Smothers Theatre, 24255 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90263
What the show is
Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is a love triangle set on the American frontier. The story follows people whose hopes and rivalries play out across open plains and lively barn dances. It mixes humor, Americana and a touch of drama, and the emotional arc lands with audiences of all ages.
The score is the main draw. "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" and "People Will Say We're in Love" are among the songs that fill the theatre with warmth, and many people walk in already knowing them. If you have only seen the movie, a live staging changes how the dance numbers and ensemble pieces feel.
Who it suits
This is a good fit for families, for anyone who grew up on Golden Age musicals, and for people who want a night of theater that is easy to follow. It also works as a date night, since the story is built around romance and the songs carry the mood.
Planning your visit
The theatre sits right on Pacific Coast Highway, so leave extra time for the drive, especially on a Friday evening. Ticket prices were not listed on the page we checked, so look at the event listing before you go and confirm times for each performance. The listing is the best place to check what else is on, and the venue's own calendar helps when you are weighing upcoming events in Los Angeles.
Malibu is a trip from most of the city, but a show here pairs well with a coastal drive. Plan to arrive early, settle in, and let the first number set the tone.
Why it makes the list
For anyone scanning things happening in Los Angeles this month, a full-length classic musical in a coastal theatre is a distinct choice. It is familiar without being stale, and the run is short enough that it is worth locking in your night soon. Browse more in our arts and culture section.
