Oklahoma is considered the first musical where the songs were integrated into the script so as to advance the plot, as opposed to being stand alone songs that are inserted, stop the show for a while, and then continue on as if nothing had happened. For instance, curly is quite aware of Judd's affection for laurie, and instead of jibing him in a scene of dialogue, He uses the song "Poor Judd" to show him how much better things would be if he would just kill himself. He plays Judd as the fool, always using the song to sway him into a placid state when Judd begins to catch on that his chain is being yanked.
To see this effect, watch a Musical like Pal Joey, where the songs are just there to entertain, but really don't propel the plot forward, then re-watch Oklahoma!.
plus he also likes big potatoes.

There is but at the same time there isn't. It is slighlty confusing but just try to understand this:When A musical first comes (If it starts on Broadway st N.Y.C) then it is a Broadway Musical. But once it goes on tour to everywhere (London,States,Canada) Then it is considered "Off-Broadway". All that means is it ONCE was on Broadway and now is touring, or is done performing for good.If it doesn't start on Broadway st N.Y.C it is just considered a "musical" and can never be a "Broadway musical" or a "Off-Broadway musical."But Broadway musicals and Off-Broadway musicals are still musicals, so it just depends on weather or not you are very picky in arts or not.Read more: Is_there_a_difference_between_a_Musical_and_a_Broadway_Musical
