Oklahoma!

Did you know the state song of Oklahoma is the Rogers and Hammerstein song "Oklahoma"? We of course couldn't let the Harrises leave without a chance to see the musical. Armed with plenty of bug spray, and thankful for a relatively cool evening, we really enjoyed the performance.

After the show, we went down to meet the cast. We had to be careful where we walked because this outdoor show came complete with horses and wagons!

Here are the girls with Ado Annie and her beau, Will.


And, of course, we had to meet Laurey, the Belle of Claremore. We even know where Claremore is now...


Anna set her hat for Curley, the leading man.


The children were thrilled to get autographs after the performance and the actor/actresses also enjoyed the British accents of our friends. Ali Hakim, the "wandering persian peddler" below, will be wandering to London this fall for an acting opportunity. Wonder if he'll meet Any of the Harrises again?
