<P> At the social, during an upbeat square dance ("The Farmer and the Cowman"), the rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys over fences and water rights has led to fighting, which Aunt Eller ends by firing a gun to silence everyone . Laurey is upset when she sees Curly at the dance with Gertie . In an effort to rid himself of Ado Annie, Ali Hakim buys Will's souvenirs from Kansas City for $50 . Jud also contributes to this by purchasing Will's Little Wonder, knowing of the blade concealed within it . The auction starts and Will bids $50 on Ado Annie's basket, not realizing that without the $50, he would no longer have the money her father insisted he needs to "purchase" marriage with her . Desperate to be rid of Ado Annie, the peddler bids $51 to get the basket so that Will can approach Andrew Carnes with the $50 and claim Ado Annie as his bride . The auction becomes much more serious when Laurey's basket comes up for auction . Jud has saved all his money so he can win Laurey's basket . Various men bid, trying to protect Laurey, but Jud outbids them all . Curly and Jud engage in a ferocious bidding war, and Curly sells his saddle, his horse, and even his gun to raise money . Curly outbids Jud and wins the basket . Jud discreetly tries to kill Curly with the Little Wonder, but his plan is foiled when Aunt Eller (knowing what is happening) loudly asks Curly for a dance . Later that night, Will and Annie work out their differences, as she reluctantly agrees not to flirt with other men ("All Er Nuthin"'). </P> <P> Jud confronts Laurey about his feelings for her . When she admits that she does not return them, he threatens her . She then fires him as her farm hand, screaming at him to get off her property . Jud furiously threatens Laurey before he departs; Laurey bursts into tears and calls for Curly . She tells him that she has fired Jud and is frightened by what Jud might do now . Curly, seeing that she has turned to him for guidance and safety, reassures her and proposes to her, and she accepts ("People Will Say We're In Love (Reprise)"). He then realizes that he must now become a farmer . Afterwards, Ali Hakim decides to leave the territory and bids Ado Annie goodbye after telling her Will is the man she should marry . </P> <P> Three weeks later, Laurey and Curly are married and everyone rejoices in celebration of the territory's impending statehood ("Oklahoma!"). During the celebration, Ali Hakim returns with his new wife, Gertie, whom he unwillingly married after being threatened by her father with a shotgun . A drunken Jud reappears, harasses Laurey by kissing her and attacks Curly with a knife . As Curly dodges a blow, Jud falls on his own knife and soon dies . The wedding guests hold a makeshift trial for Curly, at Aunt Eller's urging, as the couple is due to leave for their honeymoon . The judge, Andrew Carnes, declares the verdict: "not guilty!" Curly and Laurey depart on their honeymoon in the surrey with the fringe on top ("Finale Ultimo"). </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Character </Th> <Th> Description </Th> <Th> Notable stage performers in major market productions </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Curly McLain </Td> <Td> A cowboy in love with Laurey </Td> <Td> Alfred Drake °, Harry Stockwell °, John Raitt, Howard Keel, Ridge Bond, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Wilson, Laurence Guittard, Lance Smith </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Laurey Williams </Td> <Td> Aunt Eller's niece, an independent young woman </Td> <Td> Joan Roberts °, Betty Jane Watson, Christine Andreas, Leila Benn Harris, Josefina Gabrielle, Florence Henderson, Lucy Durack </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jud Fry </Td> <Td> A hired hand on Aunt Eller's ranch, a mysterious and dangerous loner </Td> <Td> Howard Da Silva °, Shuler Hensley, Alfred Molina </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Aunt Eller </Td> <Td> Laurey's aunt, a respected community leader </Td> <Td> Betty Garde °, Mary Wickes, Andrea Martin, Patty Duke, Margaret Hamilton, Maureen Lipman, Louise Plowright </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ado Annie Carnes </Td> <Td> A flirtatious, gullible young woman </Td> <Td> Celeste Holm °, Shelley Winters, Barbara Cook, Christine Ebersole, Jessica Boevers, Amanda Harrison </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Will Parker </Td> <Td> A simple young man in love with Ado Annie </Td> <Td> Lee Dixon °, Harry Groener </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Andrew Carnes </Td> <Td> Ado Annie's father, eager to have her marry </Td> <Td> Ralph Riggs ° </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ali Hakim </Td> <Td> A Persian peddler, enamored of Ado Annie </Td> <Td> Joseph Buloff °, Eddie Albert, Peter Polycarpou, Bruce Adler, Jamie Farr, Aasif Mandvi </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gertie Cummings </Td> <Td> A local farm girl, fond of Curly, marries Ali Hakim </Td> <Td> Jane Lawrence °, Pamela Britton </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Dream Curly </Td> <Td> Curly in the dream sequence </Td> <Td> Marc Platt ° </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Dream Laurey </Td> <Td> Laurey in the dream sequence </Td> <Td> Katharine Sergava ° </Td> </Tr> </Table>
