An entertainment event billed as an unprecedented gathering of Oklahoma’s most famous sons and daughters — the Centennial Spectacular — will be rebroadcast statewide several times during the next few months.
The spectacular, on Nov. 16 in the Ford Center, featured a display of the latest in lighting, multimedia and staging. Songs were written specifically for the show.
Headlining were country music stars Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Toby Keith, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood.
“The Spectacular was an incredible finale to what has been a magnificent statehood celebration. Thanks to OETA’s broadcast, Oklahomans from all four corners of the state had front row seats to this magnificent show,” Blake Wade, Centennial Commission executive director, said. The next broadcast on the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2.
The spectacular will be broadcast on OETA OKLA:
