"Oklahoma! is okay!"

Having seen many versions of Oklahoma! throughout my life, movie and stage, and even having been in a version, I have to say this is one of the best versions I have seen, if not THE best. Hugh Jackman, surprisingly, is very good as Curly, although, I have to admit to wanting to see a littlw Wolverine action in the fight scenes, still, an incredible performance. Shuler Hensley is really very good as Jud Fry. And Maureen Lipman does a great job as Aunt Eller.
I'm happy to add this version of Oklahoma! to my collection of favorite musicals.

"Who knew?"

Who knew Hugh Jackman was so remarkably talented? This is a top-notch production, in terms of both the performance in London and the production of the DVD, and Jackman is simply amazing! Wolverine has certainly hidden this guy's abundant musical talent. Not only does he sing well -- and it's well above Broadway average -- he's a great MUSICIAN, too. His breath control and phrasing is terrific.
And he's not the only one. All the cast give stellar performances. You have to watch the bonus DVD, too, to see "the making of...". You'd never know the cast wasn't all-American. Aunt Eller and Laurie are Brits, Jackman is an Aussie -- and you'd swear they're all country folk from Oklahoma.
The dream ballet sequence in the middle is unique in that Jackman and his co-star Josefina Gabrielle (Laurie) do their own dancing. (again, who knew?) The producers got special permission to expand the music for the ballet and it's simply wonderful.
The cowboy dancers are astonishingly good -- they throw in some rope tricks for good measure.
The American musical is part way between being a play and an opera. That a British cast would learn south western dialect ( somewhat badly?) and they would stage a farmers daughter in overalls instead of a dress and make museum props like a cranking milk separator and a wooden windmill pumping tower shows an unexpected respect of the cowboy in London? This show is very different than the 50 year old Hollywood version with it's surreal staging of the dream ballet. This show has finally put the American musical into the category of a cultural production like a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The British stage company goes to a "My Fair Lady" Higgins level of singing the American lyrics ( as many blues and rick songs have been done in Britain) as if they were singing a foreign language. The American west of the cowboy is pretty much gone, but lives on in the cultural heritage.

"Even Better Than I Remember"

I saw this production on PBS a few years ago and put it on my Christmas list this year. I have to say it's even better than I remember. A superlative production with something of a revisionist slant that actually works since the director, Trevor Nunn, actually went back to the original 1940 production and the source material. There are also some really knock-out performances here. Shuler Hensley plays Jud with real pathos and menace. Josefina Gabrielle is an earthy Laurie who perfectly captures her dilemma. It's the first time I really understood and felt Laurie's conflict. Maureen Lipman is simply perfect as Aunt Eller. Most notable, however, is Hugh Jackman as Curly. You can see why this performance put him on the map, so to speak. He's the perfect Curly and brings just the right blend of charm, swagger, and yearning to the part. Not to mention he sings beautifully and completely commands the stage and screen.
