Surviving in the States: Audience Rejection on the Road with Oklahoma!
HowlRound Theatre Commons: I spent most of 2022 touring the United States, playing Jud Fry in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! This production transferred from St. Ann’s Warehouse to Broadway in February 2019 and was critically praised. The Broadway production won the Tony Award for Best Revival and Best Supporting Actress for Ali Stroker’s portrayal of Ado Annie, which made history as she became the first actor in a wheelchair to win. When the tour was announced, I was excited to bring this story to audiences that wouldn’t be able to access it otherwise.
