the setup…
Theater actress Bex Hardgrave is on tour with the musical production of Oklahoma! and they are all set for the Valentine’s Day production until a seafood taco takes out most of the cast. She’s okay as she took a pass on that delectable but the “show must go on” tradition is threatened because they don’t have anyone to stand in as Curly, her male lead. As luck would have it, new TV star sensation Colby J. Turner is in town and comes to the rescue. Bex is flummoxed as they performed together eight years ago and she’s still not over him.
the heart of the story…
The flashbacks to eight years ago gave me a glimpse into what seemed to be a potential romance between Bex and Colby. It’s full of wit and light banter but it was the backstage production drama and the performance that swept me away. Loved that aspect of the story.
the narration…
Thérèse Plummer is another favorite and I loved how she captured Bex and the cast. Her performance was lively and delightful.
the bottom line…
This was pretty funny and I was fascinated by the lengths to which the show goes on. The romance was just okay, even though the idea of it captured my imagination. It needed just a little more oomph. No matter as I had a good time.
