Alan, I've never seen the video of the London ''Oklahoma!,'' but could it have been a bigger hit there because Hugh Jackman played Curly? (And did a film commitment keep Jackman from reprising his role on Broadway?) And did Jackman have better chemistry with its British Laurey, Josefina Gabrielle? One of her selling points, I believe, was that she could dance the role of Laurey; however, critics here seemed less enthused about her acting and singing. At Tony nomination time, Gabrielle got shut out, but her American co-stars (Patrick Wilson, Andrea Martin and Justin Bohon) all got nominated. And Shuler Hensley reprised his Olivier Award-winning role as Jud and became the only ''Oklahoma!'' nominee to win a Tony.
(Speaking of Wilson, I wish he'd come back to Broadway to do musicals with that glorious voice of his.) |
