Patrick Vaill ’07 Returns as Jud Fry in U.K. Premiere of Oklahoma!

Patrick Vaill ’07 returns as Jud Fry for the London run of Daniel Fish’s Tony Award–winning, re-imagined, and re-orchestrated revival of Oklahoma! Vaill originated and humanized the role of Jud Fry, the play’s villain, while still a theater and performance student at Bard in Fish’s 2007 staging (commissioned by the then Director of Bard’s Theater Program JoAnne Akalaitis). When Fish then adapted the production for Bard’s 2015 SummerScape season, Vaill was cast again as Jud Fry and stayed with the production until 2020 as it went from off-Broadway to Broadway. Now, he will reprise the role in the U.K. premiere of Fish’s production at the West End's Young Vic Theatre in London. Previews start April 26, and opening night is set for May 5 with the run scheduled to continue through June 25.
