Oregon! Oregon! 2009

Oregon! Oregon! 2009 Cast Members

New York City has “West Side Story” and Oklahoma has, well, “Oklahoma!” but we’ve got “Oregon! Oregon!” to satisfy the musical nuts out there. Originally performed for our 100-year anniversary, it’s been given an updated treatment by the incomparable Pink Martini troupe. It will be performed throughout the state from August to September 2009. When else will you get to see a musical about Oregon?

About Pink Martini

“Pink Martini is like a romantic Hollywood musical of the 1940s or 50s – but with a global perspective which is modern,” says founder and artistic director Thomas M. Lauderdale. “We bring melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create something which is new and beautiful.”

The Portland, Oregon-based ‘little orchestra’ was founded in 1994 by Lauderdale, a Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist, to play political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, the environment, affordable housing and public broadcasting. In the years following Pink Martini grew from four musicians to its current twelve, and has gone on to perform its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Canada and the United States.
