I had the intense pleasure this weekend of seeing the second-to-last performance of Oklahoma! at Lyric Stage, which I have now officially (at least in my mind) nicknamed B.I.I., for Broadway-in-Irving. I have never seen a show there that I didn’t think could be lifted wholesale and transferred to the Great White Way for a long, successful [...]

“It’s all just lovely, with a bright golden haze over every scene. They didn’t try to reinvent Oklahoma! here. Lyric Stage just rediscovered how great it was in the first place… Producer Steven Jones and director Cheryl Denson have keen eyes for casting hot new talent in the shows they do together at Lyric… This [...]

“That’s not just a bright golden haze, it’s an effervescent glow spilling out of Carpenter Hall at Irving Arts Center, generated by Lyric Stage’s spectacular production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “Oklahoma!” running through June 24.

“Lyric Stage opens an ideal ‘Oklahoma!’ Nobody does Rodgers and Hammerstein like Lyric Stage. The Irving company opened Oklahoma! on Saturday. This new production equals — perhaps even surpasses — the superb versions of Carousel and The King and I of recent seasons. It’s a very full version, with one number from the original Broadway [...]

When a young cowpoke strolled onto the stage of the St. James Theatre on March 31, 1943, the American musical comedy was changed forever. For the first time, story, song and dance were integrated and the modern American musical was born. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration, OKLAHOMA!, was a musical adaptation of Lynn Riggs’ play [...]
