Proms 34 & 35 review: Oklahoma!, John Wilson Orchestra - music triumphs, words and drama suffer by David.nice

Lopsided results in faithful reconstruction of Rodgers and Hammerstein's groundbreakerOnly one thing could equal the wow factor of seeing and hearing a youngish Hugh Jackman launch into "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' " at the start of the National Theatre's 1998 staging of Oklahoma!: John Wilson and his orchestra trilling and swooning their perfectly-balanced way through the Overture at the Proms.
