Oklahoma Jack Benny Stage Return and Broadway Revival
Jack Benny opens a six week run at the Ziegfeld Theater joining Broadway’s Oklahoma! at City Center for a two week stand. Benny, 69, delivers rambling lines with polished production though lacking a peak moment. Jane Morgan shines as co star with Clara Ward Singers providing energy. Oklahoma! maintains its 1943 charm with Aunt Eller played by Betty Garde and romance by Peter Palmer and Louise O'Brien. Plans call for a June return of Oklahoma! with the same cast.
