...about Light Opera Oklahoma's "The Boy Friend."

Because of space considerations, the following paragraphs were cut from both the printed and web versions of the review.

"Brittingham and Howle make an attractive couple; both possess powerful voices that they put to excellent use. Tyler’s Maisie and Harris’ Dulcie are delightfully daffy, with Tyler milking her standout song “Safety in Numbers,” for all it’s worth.
Jacobs is superb as Lady Brockhurst, from the disdainful curl of the Lady’s stiff upper lip down to the stilletto-heeled pumps the Lady seems to prefer. Elser and Loyd offer two stereotypes of the Englishman abroad — the one out for a bit of fun whenever the wife’s not around, the other trying to maintain a buttoned-down demeanor despite the amorous attentions of an old flame.
Leap, who has lived and worked in France, brings a winning authenticity to Hortense, and the tango duet between Erick Castille and “Rosina” McCorkell is something that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
Anderson led his musicians in an bubbling performance of Sandy Wilson’s effervescent score, that featured exemplary work by reed player Reid Bennet and percussionist Roy Smith.
“The Boy Friend” continues with performances June 15-16, 20, 27 and 29-30. Tickets are $25-$29; 596-7111, tulsaworld.com/mytix.
