you should attend OU's production of the musical "Pal Joey". I'm playing in the pit orchestra. The music's good, and I know a couple of guys in the show (including the star) and not only do they have awesome voices, they're hilarious, so it should be a really good show.
Shows are at 8 pm March 30, 31; April 1, 7, 8; and there are two sunday 3pm shows on April 2 & 9.
Here's the story (from the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization website):
Joey is an opportunistic cad, but he always seems to land on his feet. He elbows his way into a job at a seedy Chicago nightclub and is soon juggling the affections of a naive chorus girl and a wealthy society dame who just happens to be married. Once Joey has charmed the socialite into setting him up in his own joint, he ditches the chorine and is riding high, playing the big-time operator. When a punk threatens to spill the whole business to the socialite's husband, she decides that she's bored with Joey anyway, dumping him and the club. Having had a taste of his own medicine, you'd think Joey would head back to the sweet kid who really loves him. Wrong. Some things never change, but you know what? He's still on his feet.
