Its reputation for squeaky-cleanliness is in part thanks to the musical's central theme being the way in which a society purges itself of undesirable elements.SONGS FEATURED (All from Oklahoma!):"Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'""Entr'acte""The Surrey With the Fringe On Top""Lonely Room""Pore Jud is Daid""People Will Say We're in Love (Reprise)""Ballet""The Farmer and the Cowman""I Cain't Say No""It's a Scandal!
