It's A Musical!

Oklahoma! at the Ahmanson Theatre:

Unfortunately I didn’t get around to writing this until after the tour closed; I have been busier than usual and am a slow writer. But I enjoyed this show a lot, so much so that I went to see it twice. However it was also one of the most divisive shows I have seen this year, judging from the audience reactions overheard. It may just be that I’ve never seen a “traditional” production of Oklahoma!, but it was fun to think about in terms of what it was trying to say and how the acting, casting, and direction conveyed that meaning.  Maybe I’ll have to find one of the more traditional productions in order to compare/contrast.

The painting depicts a wedding scene from the end of the show — a moment before their kiss. End I. D.]
