| In 2010, Arena Stage in D.C. did an amazing ''Oklahoma!'' in the round with a marvelous, multiracial cast, directed by Molly Smith. It starred a Latino Curly (Nicholas Rodriguez, who won the Helen Hayes Award) and an African-American Laurey (Eleasha Gamble). I wish that joyous revival had moved to Broadway and played the Circle in the Square (instead of the Daniel Fish version that did). |

| It would have been nice to see that. I have to admit to being a traditionalist where Rodgers and Hammerstein are concerned, but I would have been happy to see the Oregon Shakespeare Festival gay Oklahoma! come to New York. It looked like fun. Clearly, it was set in an alternate universe. The show is funny. It's meant to be funny. Serious, too, but there is so much comedy in the show. Personally, I would be happy if we got productions of the classic musicals regularly in New York. For a more fully traditional production, I would have been happy if New York could have seen the Lyric Opera of Chicago production, with a full orchestra and de Mille's choreography. There was a radio broadcast, and it's my second-favorite Oklahoma! recording, after the OBCR. Anyway, soon there will finally be a complete Oklahoma! recording (or so we are told). Let's hope it's good. |
