Oklahoma! Honors Parkland Students with Moving Encore Performance Featuring Instrument of Hope

On May 8, the Tony-nominated revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! became the first Broadway show to feature the Instrument of Hope, a trumpet made with bullet casings, which has been touring the country. The instrument was developed by a nonprofit formed by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivors, designed by Josh Landress and initiated by Shine MSD, Inc. and Parkland students to advance healing through arts. Following yesterday's matinée, music director Nathan Koci took to the trumpet to perform Oklahoma!'s iconic dream ballet "Out of My Dreams" for the audience in attendance; Broadway.com is honored to share the performance. Watch Tony nominee Mary Testa's moving introduction and the number itself, then make plans to experience this acclaimed new vision of Oklahoma! in person.
