RE: "Dogfight." I think that is their best work, and am curious to hear your review. I listen to it every now and then, and kind of wish they would take another look at it ."
Since a couple people here expressed interest and it seemed ridiculous to start a new thread even if my post doesn’t fit the original intent of this thread, I just wanted to share my brief thoughts on Dogfight after seeing the University of Oklahoma’s production at the matinee today. I was thoroughly impressed. It was a 3/4 in-the-round theater and I was front row so it was very intimate. The set was minimal, yet effective. The cast was phenomenal, especially the actors playing Birdlace (Daryl Tofa) and Rose (Katja Rivera Yanko). I laughed, I applauded at least a couple times with solidarity with the female characters, and I teared up a couple times. What impressed me most is that I find very few similarities between P&P’s other works although I did feel some homages to other musical theater predecessors (Sondheim’s Sweeney in some brief passages, most notably). All in all, I had a great time. And for only $35. I’m thinking about going again.
