Oklahoma!

We went to see Oklahoma! last night with some friends from church, Cecil and Gale R. The musical was performed at the New Theatre Restaurant, so we had a five-star meal and then a superb off-broadway performance.

Even if you've not seen Oklahoma! live on stage, you probably know the tunes. One of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classics, most of us can hum along with songs like "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and "Oklahoma," but there's another half dozen songs that you might recognize from pop culture references over the last sixty years. The show is laugh-out-loud funny, but it also has some serious drama to carry it through the two hour performance.

We had a delightful evening.
