This is an awesome movie Hugh Jackman is fantastic In fact all the characters are great. Very fun to watch over and over again. Much better than the old hollywood version. have no reservations about purchasing this one.
did not want to write review until we had watched to DVD. Movie was wonderful and already a family favorite!!! Thank you! Movie arrived in perfect shape it was mailed quickly and we are very satified with every aspect of our puchase.
My wife was a theater major in college. We recently rented a copy of this production of Oklahoma because she wanted to see Hugh Jackman playing the lead role. She was fascinated by the entire production and watched all the special features and the program in one sitting. She was in the Family Room for hours! I bought this copy for her as a birthday present since she enjoyed the production so much when we rented it. Now she can watch it whenever she wants to.
This is a great dvd and one of the best productions I have seen of Oklahoma. I bought it because I think Hugh Jackman is very talented and there is practically no other way to hear his recorded voice other than this dvd.
The best version of Oklahoma I've ever seen. Oklahoma! is a simple musical. The characters, plot, dancing, and music are all straight forward. The key to Oklahoma! is the PERFOMANCE. The perfomances are what makes this show GREAT. The Disc's visual and audio quality is excellent, and that why i've rated this a 5/5, basing it purely on the musical. The bonus disc wasn't impressive and I didn't understand why it was on a seperate disc. Rodgers and Hammerstein did a great job with their first collaboration. So, if you're looking for something that is simple, easy to follow and has some great perfomances, than Oklahoma! will make you feel right at home, setting on a surrey, with the fringe on top.
Oklahoma! was the first 'musical'... and this production does wonders in representing the humor, the excellent writing, and the marvelous characters. Maureen Lipkind as "Aunt Eller" is amazing as the tough and tender matriarch of the community... Hugh Jackman as Curly is delightfully strong and yet insecure in his romantic side... and Shuler Helmsey as Judd is phenomenal. What a voice!
