"People Will Say We're In Love" - and We Are!

“People Will Think We’re In Love!”  And We Are!

Consider
this an unabashed review of the play “Oklahoma” currently at the Grosse Pointe
War Memorial in the Fries Auditorium.  We
were in attendance for the opening which occurred this past Sunday afternoon.  The staging, the singing, the dancing, and
the music equal any play you will see at the various locales in our town
including the Fisher Theater.  The energy
and the enthusiasm of the cast are infectious and you will be tapping your toes
for the entire production.

“Oklahoma”
will be playing for the next couple of weeks. 
So do yourself a favor and order up a couple of tickets.  The production will take you back to a time
when musicals were a mainstay in our nation and will transport you away from
all the confusion and troubles currently going on in our nation.  This is a cast that is multitalented and a
cast that exudes excitement.  During the
dance numbers you will want to jump on stage with the cowboys and cowgirls but
consider delaying that urge until you return to the parking lot where you can
do a country two step to your car.

So saddle
up your horse, hook up your “surrey with the fringe on top”, slip into your
western boots, and do some “high steppin’ strutters” to the War Memorial before
the cast moseys on to another venue.  Are
we in love with Oklahoma?  Well, you’re
doing fine Oklahoma – O K L A H O M A - 
OK!
