Oklahoma, the musical

We went to see a presentation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma done by Theatre by the Bay, The Community Theatre of the Bay Terrace Jewish Center. I was never a theater enthusiast, but I like to try different activities. There is no need to sit at the boob tube to watch 6 hours of football on a Sunday afternoon when we live in a big city with a multitude of activities. A broadway musical would cost about $100/ticket these days so this show was a good buy since it was only 10 minutes away by car. This group was obviously on a low budget so there was not live music or elaborate sets. We enjoyed the show which originally debuted in 1943.
