What an extraordinary opportunity to see this on a big screen. Patrick is amazing as Joe Pitt, a married Republican Mormon lawyer who is hiding the secret that he is gay. And, Patrick filmed this while also starring on in the 2002 Broadway Revival of "Oklahoma!". By day a man tormented by a secret...by night a cowboy singing and dancing--hoping to escort Laurie to the box social. His efforts garned him a Tony nomination for his stage work--and both an EmmyAND a Golden Globe nomination for his film work. What an incredibly talented and versatile actor!
