Summary

1. Max Wilk talks with ballet/tap dancers and actors George Church (Dream Jud) and Marc Platt (Dream Curly) about their experiences performing in the original Broadway production of "Oklahoma!" After surveying photographs of the production at the airport, both Church and Platt give interesting accounts of what it was like being a dancer in the company, working with Agnes de Mille, and how the song "Oklahoma!" almost never became the main chorus number and musical hit of the show. George Church performed in the show for the first five weeks only. They also share some stories about Dick Rodgers and Larry Hart as well.
