Yes, 'tisnow, let's let musical theatre count here.
Like many younger performers nowadays, Josefina was dance-trained to the highest standards (in her case ballet) as well as being an all-rounder in virtually everything else (I've done a show with her, so I can vouch for this - she also turned up in the last series of
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet as the Cuban ballerina, where, again, she did all her own dancing). That
Oklahoma! cast was crammed with exceptional dancers, though: judging from what I've heard of the auditions, it was very much a 'dancing-first-and-foremost' casting: I'd certainly not have got past the first session....
(Surprised you didn't select a clip with Hugh Jackman as Curly, though!
)
(P.S. Don't forget that Salomes often also do their own seven veils routine nowadays, too.)[In the cold wet light of this particular dawn, when it seems likely that this section will grow apace, I've created a separate board after all]
