O-O-O-O-Oklahoma!


Friday night found me at a local little theater enjoying the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein and watching my boss, the doctor, sing and act! His children always attend a summer children's/youth workshop sponsored by the theater. They have been doing it since they were very young. The oldest graduated from high school in May, so this was her last year to participate. The director thought it would be nice if her dad played the role of her dad especially since her two brothers were also in the play. It was a packed house and there were ten of us from the office there to cheer for our dear doctor! He and his kids did a great job....as did all the actors. Those young people were very professional and had impressive stage presence. When Doc walked on stage in his overalls, I had to laugh....never seen him in those before! :-)
I saw "Oklahoma" 32 years ago in another little theater, but I didn't remember much about it. So, it was like seeing it for the first time. Now, I know where some of the songs I've been hearing for years came from...."Oh What A Beautiful Morning", "The Surrey With the Fringe On The Top","People Will Say We're In Love".....and others. We laughed a lot and clapped a lot and though Doc was not the official "star of the show"....he was ours! :-)

  3. Fun times. In junior high school choir we learned songs from Oklahoma to sing. To this day I'll break out singing some of the songs from the musical...mostly the theme song.

  5. What fun...to see your doctor as the 'star' of the show. We enjoy musicals as well...and all the better if you actually know some of the performers.
