The Independent Recommends: Theatre - Oklahoma
THE CAST are probably getting a bit sick of it by now, but you're unlikely to notice - Trevor Nunn's staging of Oklahoma! starring Maureen Lipman (below), is so polished, it's positively cinematic. Whether you love or loathe musicals, there's a euphoria in the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein portrait of turn-of-the-century frontier folk that is catching.
