I went to the play, “The Adams Family” at the Terrance Plaza Playhouse in ogden. I really enjoye going to it. I enjoyed the play “The Adams Family I had not ever seen the adams family and knew nothing about it other than their one main song. The theater there may no thave been huge but it was not hard at all to hear them clearly and I liked that to.
First of all, the play was great because they had great voices. When you go to a play and you start to watch, just to find out that that it has a cast that does not really fit their character, it really stinks. At this play their voices really fit their characters. When they sang, it was fun to hear some of the things we talk about in choir. Some of the things that I heard were things like their dinamics. I also heard some stacotos, tenutos, sharps, and flats. They of course hit all of these notes and it sounded very nice. You could also hear them when they would harmonize to together. One of the best things I like was when Wednesday (one of the main charactors), sang this one song there were a lot of words she had to sing really fast. She sang them in a way that made them be heard very clearly.

One that really stood out was their facial expressions. No matter how ward the song was that they were singing their face told it all. You would always know what was going on all bcause of their face. Wether it was suppose to be aquward, weird depressing, happy, sad, or even touching, you would know. This also had to to with their body language. They were always looking at the audience to keep you enged. It showed throught that they were not newbees at this kind of thing. They had expereience and knew what they were doing. Which implied that there was a lot of work that went into making it so
I thought that letting the audience be part of the musical and letting them go on set with the actors was cool. I think the actors did okay with all of their parts in scenes I did notice some parts when they messed up but they kept it going which I liked , and I also liked their characteristics. They each each had their own way, their own style of how to do things. The special effects that the crew had was very interesting and cool. Something's that I wish they could've changed is how the race was because it really looked fake because they didn't move
However, overall the Phantom Tollbooth was a fantastic play. They provided great sets, costumes, and effects. While considering how hard it is to put on a school play I think that they did a great job! It was definitely not a play full of professional actors, and singers, but for a school play it was fantastic!
They were playing their parts as they were singing even if they were playing in the East Wing than on a stage. Through their performance they were enjoying singing and made the music more interesting than a boring history lesson. You could tell they were enthusiastic through the energy shown through their performance. The vocals were dynamic and when the cast was singing louder it was easier to identify the important messages. By rapping louder, Miranda says “ I’m not throwing away my shot” he uses hand gestures showing that he is taking a stand playing his part as Alexander Hamilton.
Contrasting and Comparing You may think the play and movie of “A Christmas Carol” are the same. Well you are quite mistaken. In the Play and Movie they are very different from each other. From watching the movie and reading the play the Climax, the Conflict, and the resolution are different from each other.
Everyone projected well, but spoke somewhat fast, which made some lines a little bit hard to understand. Despite these flaws, it was still a good
Personally I think that David Boyce, the soprano sax player, brought the performance alive. For me he stood out the most during the concert he seemed to bring so much energy to the band as he played. When he would play certain parts, in Recorda Me, he would look so passionate as he played; despite David Boyce doing an amazing job everyone in the band played extremely well. They all kept a tremendous rhythm it was never lost during the performance. As well as the melody being profoundly sleek, it felt like everything like it belong in the piece there were no awkward transitions or sections in the song.
The mics were loud for some, and for others, it was so hard to understand what they were singing. This made it harder to understand what was taking place sometimes. Sound and lighting are things that can make or break a production. If the lighting and sound are not perfect the audience may not get out of the scene what was intended for them to get. This can leave an audience confused and uninterested.
For the second concert report, I went to go see the Paul Di Blasi Band at the Culver City Hotel. This was actually the second time I had attended this venue, it was decorated similarity to last time. The venue was very vintage in terms of its decor, it truly had an old school feel, it made you fee like you were in the 1920s. The hotel was dimly lit, and had a jazzy and supper club atmosphere. Almost everyone was dressed up but also casual, and the music was perfect for this setting.
The productions of this play were successful through stage design, lighting crewing, and acting. Those three aspects made the quality of the play stand out to me, as an audience member. The production of the set design of the play was a good effort. The set design for the play staging aims for the sweet spot between feeding adult nostalgia and satisfying a new generation of children.
Costumes were all nice, and fitting for each character. My favorite character was definitely Hana, who was being played by Caroline Toal. She portrayed Hana amazingly well and really got into character. Hana was such a strong individual, even during all the hard times in her life and that is really what drove me to like her so much. The set of the play was very dull and boring and I think they should have had more props to portray the scene.
A Chorus Line was different from any of the plays that we had seen during the semester, given that it was a musical. This is definitely what I am more accustomed to from watching my friends through the years preform this style alone essentially as well as my sister playing any Broadway musical soundtrack she could get her hands on for weeks on end. This felt so drastically different from anything else we had seen in the semester because it seemed that there was no end goal or resolution, it just ended. Sure, a handful of characters grew but a lot was left to the imagination at the end of the play. One thing that always sticks out within a musical are the songs itself.
I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school
Besides that the performance was excellent and made the audience understand the story through their
Hamad Yousef Dorsa James Music 105 30 March 2015 Synopsis of Combo concert Not very long ago, we have an event in our university, which was based on music most prominently. I have started to attend concert in USA not very long ago because of the difference between the cultures between my country and USA. But, this concert was very important to attend as it was happening in my own university so I decided to go for it.
My favorite sections to the dance concert had to be “Stone”. The two sections leading up to the end gave me something to look forward to. I could see how they progressed and what it had become. The first two pieces demonstrated the use of levels and gave the viewer something to admire when the dancers returned to the positions they started in. The music of these pieces was very minimal which in turn intensified the dancers movements.
