Everything about the Jim Nabors Show at Oakdale was enjoyable. The choreography, the music provided by the Sonny Costanza Orchestra, the humor, the lively spirit and probably most important of all. the depth of feeling and sincerity which Nabors put into every one of his songs made the evening totally unforgettable. The show will be at the Wallingford theater through Saturday.

Nabors, wearing three different mod costumes during the evening, sang Candy Man." "How Great Thou Art." and "The Impossible Dream" which justly received a standing ovation.

The character, and the play, are so well known to the audi work is tight and compact, and the orchestra is well above average. There are minor flaws, noto-bly in the use of accents. A Yiddish accent is a collection of timeless inflections that charms totally when real, but embarass-ing when affected. Judith Brenner, Yente the matchmaker, sounded sometimes like she was doing a suburban imitation of Molly Goldberg, detracting from an otherwise solid performance. The overall production is effective, and worthy of attention even from long time fiddler fans who like to compare per itive, and comes across very well.
