Oklahoma! Do you have your tickets?

Wow! Just saw Oklahoma! at the Stevens Center and the UNCSA has done a fantastic job in producing this classic musical. The performance is filled with energy, talent, color, and great comedic timing. I am astounded at the abundance of talent in all the areas of the performance – song, dance, acting and choreography. What a feat to get all those talented dancers moving together in such excitment and grace on that little stage! The main characters, Laurey and Curly, were played wonderfully by Kyle Guglielmo and Rebecca Moyes – and such wonderful singing performances from these two! The comedy was delivered with perfect timing by Adam Levinthal, Charles Osborne and Jennifer Webb as they played Ali Hakim, Will Parker and Ado Annie. Charles Osborne’s signing and dancing as Will Parker was especially captivating.

Braxton Molinaro’s portrayal of Jud Fry gave the play a powerful dramatic edge as he played the character in such a way to make me feel he was both vulnerable and evil at the same time.

Everything about the performance speaks great attention to detail. The set and the costumes were really well done. And of course, the music was performed superbly. I am still hearing all the great songs in my head! This performance is a joy to watch and should not be missed! See it twice if you can!
