Free Music Review: Oh, What a Beautiful Rendering of a Classic R&H Show
Hit: 5 Stars
For fans of OKLAHOMA and/or this London revival especially, this recording is a must. The cast is excellent and in top-notch vocal form. For X-Men fans, it may come as a bit of a surprise that the actor famous for playing Wolverine, the ripped Hugh Jackman, was actually a song and dance man before he came to Hollywood. He shows off his musical theatre chops here, and is in great voice. His Curly is cocky, careless, flirty, and surprisingly sensitive to his own emotions, while Josefina Gabrielle's Laurey is earthy, tom-boyish and surprisingly strong whereas the character usually comes across as two-dimensional; not so here. Gabrielle often gets flack for not being Shirley Jones a la the film version, but I enjoy Gabrielle's voice more in this role. Her rendition of "Many a New Day" and "Out of My Dreams" are amazing, esp. her delivery of the last couple of measures in "Out of My Dreams" - clear and silvery as a bell. She falters only slightly on "People Will Say We're In Love" with moving from her chest voice to her head voice, but almost every actress has that slight break when sliding up quickly like that, except for the great Marin Mazzie. Although you can't see it on the recording, but can in the filmed version of this production, Gabrielle is the first Laurey to do her own dancing in The Dream Ballet, making her the most well-rounded and only triple-threat actress to play the role. As Ado Annie, Vicki Simon gives the best vocal rendering of "I Can't Say No" and gives us an Oklahoma accent that isn't over-the-top; her comic timing is also great. Shuler Hensley, this production's Jud, is the best actor to step into the role. He isn't so much the villain of the piece as a broken man driven to madness out of loneliness, and his rendition of the oft-cut "Lonely Room" is one of the recording's highlights. I also cannot offer enough praise to the ensemble of this show - they blend perfectly to give us one big, booming, beautiful voice, as all the best ensembles do. All in all, a great and highly recommended recording of Trevor Nunn's ground-breaking opening-up of this R&H classic.
