It looks like he's having a blast up there, my Mr. Andrew Carnes. Playing a grumpy, rude character? What a stretch... It has been a real treat to watch him, and listening to the score with full symphony is a delight. The audiences have been pretty large, but not sold out. I find it hard to understand why anyone wouldn't want to experience live theater. Dropping $10-15 on an 85 minute movie is still popular, even in these economic times. Live theater is a better value. The show is longer, more personal, and always has the edge of being a bit unpredictable. Besides, it supports a local economy. And Oklahoma is definitely a value. Top-notch singing, a script with laughs that have stood the test of time, and glorious orchestration. Too bad tomorrow is closing already.
