June 09, 2022Revival of 'Oklahoma!' postponed
Tulsa World Scene's Grace Wood, Jimmie Tramel and James Watts usually preview upcoming Scene features in this podcast. However, Watts opens this week's episode noting that the Tulsa run of the Tony Award-winning revival of “Oklahoma!”, which was scheduled to be at the Tulsa PAC June 17-19, has been postponed.
Officials with Celebrity Attractions and the Tulsa PAC made the announcement Wednesday, saying the decision came in light of the recent mass shooting at the Natalie Medical Building on the Saint Francis Health System campus.
Also discussed:
Luke Busey, the 12-year-old son of actor Gary Busey, is in the family business, which you’ll see for yourself if you tune in for the season six premiere of the Disney Channel comedy series “Bunk’d.” Feature from Jimmie Tramel and show premiere coming Friday.
Learn more about Juneteenth and upcoming events at the Greenwood Cultural Center in a feature coming Monday from Grace Wood.
The Tulsa PAC, which celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, was recently approved for American Rescue Act funds, which will mostly repair backstage areas. Watts says it averages 500 events and 250K visitors each year, so it has had a "hard knock life." Feature coming Sunday.
A feature on Tulsa designer Chris Murphy, who creates bold, unique designs for his clients, is coming Saturday from Grace Wood.
“The Running Kind,” a recently revised and expanded country music legend Merle Haggard biography from David Cantwell, steers readers through the Hag’s life and career by way of his music. A feature from Jimmie Tramel is coming this weekend.
