OKLAHOMA Rehearsals

We are now 1/3 of the way through rehearsals for our 2011 opening musical OKLAHOMA. Almost all of the scenes have been blocked, and all of the songs have been introduced and the choreography roughed out for the musical numbers. Musical Director Bert Bostic has a full night of music rehearsals tonight, and Choreographer Misti Tytanic will be working on the Dream Ballet, the song "Kansas City" and other dances at rehearsals on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. All of this work leads up to our opening on Friday, February 4, 2011.

Several people have noted that our 2011 opening musical includes many performers who have never appeared on the MCT stage before, and we're very excited to welcome these newcomers. These newcomers include the actors playing Laurey (Jenness Rouse), Curly (Drew Ervin), Gertie (Cara Craggett), and Jud (Micheal Waid). Additional newcomers include Jim Johnson, Meaghan Hall, Leanne Ervin, Brady Suggs and Daniela Morales. Of course, there are others in the cast that you will recognize from past MCT productions, but we are thrilled to have so many newcomers participating in our 2011 opening musical!
