"Oklahoma" visit

Bridgnorth Players members and friends visited Bridgnorth Musical Theatre Company's production of "Oklahoma" on Friday 20th February.
What a spectacular show! The music and songs were delivered with confidence, verve and enthusiasm and the lead singers were captivating. The scenery was stylish and expertly painted (loved the woodland walk). The costumes were typical "western musical" style, with leather chaps for the men and swinging skirts for the women, creating a wonderfully colourful effect.
From start to finish the cast kept up the pace and they looked as if they were having a great time. We in the audience were. It's difficult to pick out the best bits from such a well- known and well-loved musical, but the dream sequence was cleverly staged. The contrast produced between this dark and threatening sequence and the rest of this bright and breezy show was quite unsettling.
Well done to everyone involved. I'm looking forward to next years show already.
