O, Pioneers!  was given its World Premiere performances this past October
9 and 10 in the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall of Touhill Performing
Arts Center of the University of Missouri - St. Louis.  Ms. Harbach
again teamed with lyricist Jonathan Yordy.  They last collaborated on
the musical Booth!, which debuted at the Touhill Center in 2007 and made
its East Coast Premiere at New York University's Skirball Center this
past June.  The cast includes Gina Galati in the lead role as Alexandra
Bergstrom, Ann Hoyt as Marie, the Bohemian lover of Emil and Tomas Wazelle
as Emil.

O Pioneers!  is based on Willa Cather's novel of tragedy, transformation
and redemption on the American frontier at the turn of the 20th century
and is the story of a family of Swedish immigrants in the farm country
near the fictional town of Hanover, Nebraska.
