===2002 Broadway revival===
The London production was repeated on Broadway at the [[Gershwin Theatre]] on March 21, 2002, with direction by Nunn. The production closed on February 23, 2003, after 388 performances. Only two of the London cast, Josefina Gabrielle as Laurey and Shuler Hensley as Jud, were in the production, which also featured [[Patrick Wilson]] as Curly, [[Andrea Martin]] as Aunt Eller and Justin Bohon as Will. It was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Featured Actress in a Musical and Best Featured Actor in a Musical (which was awarded to Hensley). The musical was also nominated for nine Drama Desk Awards, with Hensley winning as Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical and Susan Stroman winning for choreography.

[[Ben Brantley]] wrote in ''[[The New York Times]]'': "At its best, which is usually when it's dancing, this resurrection of Rodgers and Hammerstein's epochal show is dewy with an adolescent lustiness, both carnal and naive, exuberant and confused." The review stated that "Anthony Ward's harmoniously curved set, in which the sky seems to stretch into eternity, again pulses with the promise of a land on the verge of transformation."<ref>Brantley, Ben. "This Time, a Beautiful Mornin' With a Dark Side", ''The New York Times'', March 22, 2002, Section E, p. 1</ref> The ''[[New York Daily News]]'' review commented that "Visually, this one is stunning – at times, Anthony Ward's sets have a pastoral, idyllic quality, like Thomas Hart Benton's paintings. At other times, especially in lighting designer David Hersey's lustrous palette, they convey the bleakness of the frontier."  The review also stated that the Royal National Theatre "brought it back to us in a way that makes it seem fresh and vital."<ref>Kissel, Howard.
