I'm scratching my head just a little at the Jewish references here (I'm Jewish, btw). I can't say I've ever thought of Oklahoma being something all Jews are supposed to know about. (Fiddler perhaps, lol, but Oklahoma?)
Perhaps it might seem odd for a 70-year old New Yorker to not have such exposure to the Broadway scene - but not everyone is into theatre (we forget this fact out here). We might even be more shocked to find out that there are certainly GAY men who have never seen Oklahoma. OMG, how can it possibly be??!! ;-)
Not that this is such a big deal, but I'm trying not to see this as some form of stereotyping or microagression that we're really expecting all older NY Jews to have seen and have knowledge of classic musicals. But I have to say it feels that way. I'm not casting aspersions here, just finding it a bit curious. |
