Title: A SNORE FESTIVAL FROM GREAT BRITIAN.
Review: "Oklahoma!" is as close to a perfect American Musical as you're ever going to find; and all this production did was make me appreciate the 1955 film version all the more. Trevor Nunn's pacing is slow to the point of boredom and the sporadic use of a "live" audience intercut with dead-air studio footage is distracting to say the least. All this makes it very hard to listen to the participants in the "Making Of" documentary on Disc 2 wax eloquently about how this 1999 production is better than the original Broadway version! I love "Oklahoma" and was genuinely excited about buying this DVD. I really was looking forward to a fresh new version of this Great American Romp. What I got was a museum piece pressed under glass like rose petals.
