... nor did R&H or Riggs intend for there to be a homo-erotic scene between Jud and Curley, nor did they intend for Jud to have a scene where Laurey performs oral sex on him - the latter being the moment that many are in denial of (though some on this site understood it as clearly as I did. Its, like, pretty hard to miss).
I have seen a lot of Mr Fish's work over the years, and the one theme that runs thru all of it is that we are intended to spend every moment in the theatre thinking of Mr Fish.
Why does Laurey scowl from the opening of the show? Why she is unhappy and unpleasant? Why does she scream out all of her music. What is that god awful stomping dance routine that starts act 2 (the original dream ballet - not nightmare - ended Act 1. It was a highlight.)
There are some engaging performances in this revival of OKLAHOMA to be sure. But much of it is a mess, lost in the mess of Mr Fish's mind. IMHO. |
