When Patrick Vaill first auditioned for his college theater production of Oklahoma!, he was looking for validation that he had a future as an actor and that his talent wasn't just a delusion. Vaill believed that if he earned the role of the beloved Curly--a charming, funny and straight romantic lead--his career would be launched. Instead, he was called back to play Jud, a much darker role, one Vaill didn't want or understand how to access at the time. But it's a role that would profoundly change Vaill's life--not once but three times--and ultimately contribute, more than a decade later, to a Tony-winning revival of Oklahoma! on Broadway.
The episode was recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center.
