Em is an actor in New York and DC who brings us this most classic of musicals as revived St. Ann’s Warehouse revival that ****s. There is really no other way to put it. That’s how we all remember it. I bleep it every time but that’s what we’re saying. It’s the Oklahoma! that ****s.
Topics include: the buttery/flaky crust of nostalgia, Rebecca Naomi Jones doing no wrong, Mary Testa opening numbers, a moment of meta-textualism that brings things to a crashing halt, disappointing revivals, reclaiming Jud, and can one out-sexy Julie Andrews & Robert Goulet?
