Andrew Carnes sees Annie with Ali Hakim; he forces Hakim at gunpoint to agree to marry her. Hakim and the other men lament the unfairness of the situation (" It's a Scandal! It's a Outrage!"). Curly discovers that Laurey is going to the box social with Jud and tries to convince her to go with him instead. Afraid to tell Jud she won't go with him, Laurey protests that she does not love Curly (" People Will Say We're in Love"). Hurt by her refusal, Curly goes to the smokehouse where Jud lives to talk with him. Curly jokingly suggests that since Jud does not feel appreciated, he could hang himself, and everyone would realize how much they care about him ("Pore Jud Is Daid"). Their talk turns into an ominous confrontation about Laurey. After Curly leaves, Jud's resolve to win Laurey becomes even stronger, and he vows to make her his bride (" Lonely Room"). a b Strangeways, Michael.

[50] According to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, the limited engagement was a sell-out and broke all previous box office records, [51] and so the show was transferred to the Lyceum Theatre in the West End for a six-month run. [49] Plans to transfer to Broadway with the London cast were thwarted by Actors' Equity, which insisted that American actors must be cast. [52] [53] Eventually a U.S. cast was selected. [54] The production was filmed live and issued on DVD, as well as being broadcast on U.S. Public Television in November 2003. [55] The live recording was given a limited theatrical re-release on July 16 and 19, 2023, celebrating its 25th anniversary and the musical's 80th anniversary.
