I agree.THE MIAMI HERALD Frt., Feb. 2, !9?3 Dinner Theater's 'Oklahoma' eal Down-Home Tent S. Saddle 'em up and gather yourselves together for a musingly fun time for "Oklahoma!" at the Marriott Din- ?√ß ner Theater, a s panking-new fixture on the local dramatic scene. In the down ?╟÷?╟÷ home spirit of ?╟≤ chuckwagon dinner play occur in an enormous green-and-white striped circus tent. The music, of course, is purely irresistible; each selection is a lucidly voiced standout, from "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" to the laughable lyrics of "Poor Jud" to the magnificent duet of Curley People Will .j ?√ßiiiimjiii inn THEATER REVIEW things, and the magnificent d ana Laurey 1 Say We're on Th CoveT From a sprightly cast. King Morton excels i q?jj Curly. who: sings in the. traditional Gordon MacRae ?√ß booming manner. Paul Brown's Jud is fittingly grimy, implacable and inwardly corrupt, a perfect foil to the thorough-going sweetness of the other players. The gentle, virginal character of Laurey could have been a vapid cheerleader type in lesser hands but Dee Sharman Harper manages to be win- somely naive and credible. Hers is the outstanding soprano, the kind of spine-tingling rich voice that nearly deflated the tent. Capable support comes from David S. Harper as the finagling peddler in the garish plaid suit. This role allows for plenty of hamming, it weathers, even profits by exaggeration. Sue Bug- den delivers Ado Annie's dumb cuteness and vulnerability to men with just the right degree of silliness; she's a wonderful character.
