Search - Oscar Hammerstein II :: Oklahoma! (1980 London Revival Cast)

Live performance by a second rate no name cast

"There are so many GOOD versions of OKLAHOMA! available that only musical theatre collectors who want EVERY version of the score would want this. The cast is very ordinary... your local college production was probably done with much more energy. The live recoding just means there is audience noise throughout the songs and applause (not very stronng applause) after each cut. Stick with the original 1943 cast, the well sung movie sountrack, or the inventive 1998 London revival with Hugh Jackman."

Second rate cast, horrible production

"I'm not sure why this CD is on the market. I first bought this CD not knowing about the multiple cast recordings available on the market, and I was sorely disappointed. The voices are mediocre, the accents are lousy and now this CD has just been collecting dust on my shelf for years. I think any recording other than this one would be recommended."
