"It's not so clear, however, that the character was meant to be perceived as Jewish even if Joseph Buloff played him with a Yiddish accent, as I suspect he did."
Wouldn't you say that the recording of "It's a Scandal! It's a Outrage" by Buloff for the second volume of the original Broadway cast album of OKLAHOMA! gives clear evidence of the accent he used for the role? I would, especially since he actually speaks the lyrics of the song to music, rather than singing any of it. |
