| In a Deadline.com interview, Daniel Fish was asked about why chili was served at ''Oklahoma!'' and his answer was: ''I had this idea about dinner theater, this sort of great American thing, this sort of strange thing, where people go to the theater and eat food. And I just started to wonder, well, what’s that really about? Then I started to think, is there some correlation between people sitting down to a meal and people going to a play?'' Is dinner theater a ''great American thing''? Is it that common? I've gone to only one theater where I've eaten: the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford, N.Y. (They served you a meal; not just a piece of cornbread and vegan chili.) (P.S. I can see why the Off-Broadway ''Sweeney Todd'' served meat pies, but I've never associated ''Oklahoma!'' with chili,) |
