I have been remiss to mention that the latest play in Houston’s Broadway Series — Oklahoma! is currently playing through July 18 at the fabulous Hobby Center.
My wife, one of my daughters and I went to Friday night’s show, and it was outstanding. The tour that opened this past Tuesday at the Hobby Center is a generally faithful re-creation of the Royal National Theatre‘s acclaimed 1998 London revival, seen on Broadway in 2002. This excellent revival is a great afternoon or evening of entertainment, and if you want to combine a fine meal with the play, make a reservation at the Hobby Center’s Artista, which is one Houston’s finest new restaurants.
Oklahoma! is at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays-Fridays; 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays; and 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Sundays through July 18. Tickets range from $23-$64 and can be obtained either online or through the Hobby Center ticket office at 713-629-3700.
