Oklahoma rehearsals

We’ve started rehearsing the ballet scene in Oklahoma! which meant that yesterday’s rehearsal was quite physically demanding. During the number, I get lifted, pushed to the ground, dragged across the stage, thrown over Jud’s shoulder, and knocked back to the ground again. There is also a fight scene between Curly and Jud in the ballet. Fortunately I got used to being picked up and thrown about when doing acrobatic rock ‘n roll but it seems to be a close-run thing between Steve (Curly), Simon (Jud) and myself as to who ends up most bruised at the end of the number!
