![]() stage tidbits *This Is The Army was a Broadway musical extravaganza written by Irving Berlin. The cast consisted of actual servicemen who were professional entertainers in their civilian lives. The show was a big hit and raised millions of dollars for army charities. Following the Broadway engagement, it toured the United States and several foreign countries, and was also made into a film. ![]() *Oklahoma! was revolutionary in many ways. Not only did it set the style for a new generation of stage musicals, but it was one of the first shows to truly integrate the plot, songs and dances. Unlike past musicals, the story didn't stop when the lead characters began to sing. The songs and dances actually contributed to and advanced the storyline.*The Oklahoma! original cast album was the first to record the songs exactly as they were heard on stage. *The first Tony Awards were given out in 1947. ![]() Og's pot of gold grants an accidental wish, resulting in unusual circumstances for Senator Rawkins in Finian's Rainbow. | ||
