BWW Reviews: People Will Say We're In Love with MTW's OKLAHOMA!
by Don Grigware - Feb 19, 2013
When Oklahoma! was first produced on Broadway in 1943 it became the first smash hit for newly formed collaborating team Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and also the first real book musical, preceded only by Showboat.

MTW's newest production is exceptional - by far one of the best to be staged in a very long time. Director Davis Gaines - his first direction - magnificently brings together an astoundingly talented cast now in Long Beach through March 3 only. (more...)

There are moments and performances however, that aren't in sync with the collective pantomime energy on stage and these become particularly obvious throughout the show. (more...)
