Oklahoma..London Cast
Another trip "Out West" in "America" for the music and "London" for the visuals via Mp3's.....This seems to be a recording that was made of an actual "live" performance in 1980.
All the great "Rogers & Hammerstein's" song's that everybody knows and by the sound of the recording it definatly has atmosphere echoey' when the singers seem to move around the stage and of course all the audience applause so its a great one !!!
