I've got beginner's luck 'cause the first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you. Gosh, I'm lucky!...

"I have found her, she's an angel With the dust of the stars in her eyes We are dancing, we are flying And she's taking me back to the skies"

Let people say we're in love (study)

4 hours and 1 cigarette break study

[I.D. A digital painting of Laurey Williams and Jud Fry from Oklahoma! West End 2023 revival. Laurey is a woman in her 20s with long dark curly hair, Jud is a man in his 30s with long blonde hair, he’s wearing a brown suit. The painting depicts a wedding scene from the end of the show — a moment before their kiss. End I. D.]

[I.D. A black and white digital painting of Laurey Williams from Oklahoma! 2019 broadway revival. Laurey is a Black woman in her 30s with medium-dark skin and long curly dark hair. She's wearing her costume from the first act of the show. She's standing, looking up, at what seems to be a screen/projection of 'Poor Jud is daid' show number. She looks disappointed and a little terrified. End I. D.]
