Review: OKLAHOMA! National Tour at Eisenhower Theatre At The Kennedy Center
The National Tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! arrived at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theatre this week for a mercifully brief engagement, and shortly before Thursday's performance began, the preshow announcement encouraged audience members to pull out their phones, take a selfie, add a 50th anniversary hashtag, and then silence them. Left unmentioned was that the ensuing three hours would include bizarre theatre, gunshots ringing out in a pitch black theatre, and audience members being showered with kernels of corn and carbonated beverages.
