| My father was a sailor stationed in NYC for 6 months in 1943. As a serviceman he was treated to quite a few Broadway shows. He saw Oklahoma a few weeks after the opening. I was shocked to learn that he didn’t care for it! “ I was from the Midwest and I wanted to see the glamorous society life of Cole Porter not cowboys and farmers and girls in gingham.” |
