Although the 5th Avenue is billing the show as Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!

(to distinguish it from, what, the Bertolt Brecht version?), you hardly need those legendary names to advertise whose fabled state you're entering. The exclamation point says it all. And for this revival, the 5th plans is using local choreographer Donald Byrd and his Spectrum Dance Theater to make sure the 1943 classic steps in time. Given that Byrd's company electrified the 5th's West Side Story five years ago, you'd do well to watch what becomes of this piece's famed (and sometimes dreaded) Dream Ballet. We've also been promised an examination of race in turn-of-the-century America--a dubious prospect, yet director Peter Rothstein has interestingly upped the stakes by casting a black actor as Jud Fry, the farmhand who sends an erotic chill down the lily-white spine of Laurey and rattles her cowboy love Curly. And you'll get a score that, especially if you haven't paid it heed in a while, still sounds both fresh and as unshakeable a part of you as your DNA. There's a bright golden haze on the meadow...

Running Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes (including intermission)
The Flying Karamazov Brothers are soaring back into Emerald City! Fresh from a year Off-Broadway, a summer in London's West End, a month in Madrid and a weekend in Peoria, their critically incriminating show is ripe and ready for Rain City. The Brothers will wash away your winter blues with red fire and yellow yolk. These pranksters dance, prance, pun, dunce, sing, aspire, perspire and mesmerize their way through an evening of reinvention.
"A Triumph!" yells the NY Times.
"The Marx Brothers meets the Juilliard String Quartet" adds the Boston Globe.
Your world will be new-made through this mad collision of skill and chaos, gutter lies and lofty beauty. Come join the crowd as these Seattle favorites juggle everything except your spouse - Bring an object* for The Challenge (a juggling feat), and bring grandma and the kids, who will all savor this saucy dish of laughter and levity that is "Fresh, impressive and genuinely funny, as close to a sure thing as can be found on stage." - The New York Times.
*Heavier than an ounce, less than 10 pounds and no bigger than a breadbox. The Champ will not juggle a live animal or anything that may prevent The Champ from continuing to be a live animal. More >>
