Band of outsiders â a new take on Oklahoma!
In 1943, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! was groundbreaking, tackling heavy themes and integrating story, song and dance in a way that redefined musical theatre. Director Richard Carroll searches for new themes and ideas in this classic work at Black Swan.
Also, ahead of this year's International Day of People with Disability, we touch base with members of Back to Back Theatre and premiere two new performances, and Opera Queensland artistic director Patrick Nolan shares the Best Advice he was ever given.
Episode 191: South Pacific, "Some Enchanted Evening"
We're joined by special guest Chris Barron (of Spin Doctors) to talk about "Some Enchanted Evening," a perfect song tucked inside the musical South Pacific. Get ready for talk of the Muppets, surprising chord progressions, and the ukulele.
