"In a related point, remember the splendid recreation of the original Oklahoma by the North Carolina (I think) students and staff, broadcast on TV? We saw not a museum piece but a timeless one, still alive with the joy of fresh collaboration circa 1943."
Actually, I thought it looked very much like the college production that it was. But since not even my parents were alive at the time of the original, I wouldn't know how the original looked anyway. |
