Note that when James Hammerstein went to direct what he hoped would be a revitalized production of Oklahoma he added a line for Curly to emphasize this characteristic, "Who laughs at your jokes" inserted into "People will say we're in love."
Note that that line was in the original published vocal score, years before James Hammerstein directed the show. I also have an older version of the script with that line, that again, way predates James' production. |
