Oklahoma! at the Ahmanson Theatre:

Unfortunately I didn’t get around to writing this until after the tour closed; I have been busier than usual and am a slow writer. But I enjoyed this show a lot, so much so that I went to see it twice. However it was also one of the most divisive shows I have seen this year, judging from the audience reactions overheard. It may just be that I’ve never seen a “traditional” production of Oklahoma!, but it was fun to think about in terms of what it was trying to say and how the acting, casting, and direction conveyed that meaning.  Maybe I’ll have to find one of the more traditional productions in order to compare/contrast.

Granted I did not like it quite as much as Charles McNulty, who wrote a rave review for the LA Times. The theater/production actually printed his review in full and displayed it in the lobby, which is something I’ve never seen done before:

(Another interesting lobby display I’ve never seen before at a show: a Tony Award.) 

On Broadway this show was presented in the round in a smallish theater, with the house lights up for most of the show.  I think the need to present it in a much larger proscenium theater did not work quite as well because it lost some of the intimacy, especially in my first viewing from up in the mezzanine.  The performances seemed remote and chilly at first and it took a while to get into it. The point where it really got going was Sis as Ado Annie performing “I Cain’t Say No” – there was at least one person in the box seats giving her a standing ovation.

It worked much better for me in a 2nd viewing when I was a lot closer to the stage and it felt I was directly observing (and intruding on) the characters’ lives; performances that seemed strangely flat from far away instead seemed guarded or reserved. That helped the production make more sense to me dramatically, because the set was basically a huge, brightly lit plywood box, with guns lining the walls, non-obvious exit doors, and nowhere to hide for the characters when onstage. Many scenes took place with most of the cast sitting at tables watching the action, as if being in this small community meant being under observation all the time.

(Added bonus from being near the stage: I got splashed with fake beer during “The Farmer and the Cowman.”)

Unsorted comments:

It was very well sung, probably one of the best shows I’ve seen this year in that aspect. I was particularly impressed by “People Will Say We’re in Love” – Sasha Hutchings (Laurey) and Sean Grandillo (Curly) were pretty good in the Late Show performance, but it was great live.

During the spoken introduction to “Pore Jud is Daid” the lights in the theater went out (on purpose), but apparently while the audience’s eyes were adjusting, a black scrim came down in front of the stage so that the actors could reposition themselves, presumably with some kind of lighting. From the audience’s point of view it appeared to be nearly total darkness on stage.

Fun stage bit: there was an image of a farmhouse on a plain projected on the back wall throughout most of the show. On occasion there was smoke coming from the chimney, which I first noticed while Laurey sang “Out of My Dreams” right before intermission.

Overheard audience reactions: 1) At one intermission I heard someone complaining to a companion that the costumes and settings and props didn’t make any sense because they weren’t period-appropriate.  While it is fair that people may not care for the reinterpretation, I think he completely missed the point.  2) On the way out, I overheard one youngish guy saying, “It was bad.”  (I disagree, but it’s rare that I hear such bluntly negative opinions in the audience.)

During intermission members of the crew carefully walked the stage to clean up debris. During “Many a New Day” the women in the cast were aggressively shucking corn so there were probably corn kernels all over the place. Note: Sasha Hutchings was the only actor who managed to snap the corn in a way that would consistently launch the kernels with enough height and trajectory to hit the audience members in the front row, so kudos to her I suppose.

I didn’t really understand the dream ballet. That is, I think I got the general idea of the scene, but thought it was far less clear at expressing it than any other scene, and I didn’t quite see what this particular staging was saying about Laurey’s dilemma. However there were some brief but interesting interactions the Lead Dancer had with Cord Elam and Gertie Cummings that to me revealed some of Laurey’s feelings about those characters. I don’t recall Laurey interacting much with them otherwise, so I liked having that bit of perspective.

The Gertie Cummings laugh (from Hannah Solow) was especially funny after she had exited the stage box and it was just her voice echoing from beyond the walls.

One fun audience item: I saw a couple watching the show in themed outfits, him in Carhartt overalls and her in a black and white gingham dress.

The LA Times had another article about the varied reactions to the revival which has some good quotes from the director and actors.
