Change
If you've missed it so far, the musical Caroline or Change is still playing in San Francisco at the Curran Theater. Carole Shorenstein brought it back from Broadway (after closing August '04 on Broadway) with most of the Tony Award-winning cast intact. Natalia and I (along with Bonnie Raitt who was in the audience) went to see it this week and the cast was great, especially Chuck Cooper and Anika Noni Rose.
Oklahoma is coming up next at the Orpheum (and Evita as part of the Snore '05 fest being hyped as the "Best of Broadway") and, frankly, I can't imagine a more bring musical (except for maybe Mame--more on that later). The Mountain Play is doing Oklahoma in the summer and I guess it makes money otherwise they wouldn't do it, but I'd rather take nap on a Sunday afternoon. :P
