It was much different than anything I have been too. The two main narrators made this circus Olay act, even more entertaining by being humorous. A great deal of times these two narrators made almost the whole crows grin and chuckle. For my family and me, we could not stop smirking or laughing the entire time. What else brought uniqueness to this performance is that they got people from the crowd involved in a couple instances.
Wicked The Musical is a beloved Broadway show that has captured the hearts of audiences all over the world. From the catchy tunes to the stunning costumes, this musical has it all. However, one of the most impressive aspects of Wicked is undoubtedly its dancers and choreography. In this critique essay, we will be taking a closer look at the technical execution of dance routines and use of space and staging in Wicked The Musical. These two elements are crucial to any successful dance performance, and they play an vital role in bringing this larger-than-life story to The Gershwin stage.
The cast members seemed like they were part of the production themselves, which gave the audience a lifelike impression from them. Throughout the play I did not notice any obvious flaws that the cast members exhibited, which was really professional in my opinion and as a result, made the production more appealing to the audience. There was also breaking of the fourth wall, as demonstrated by Igor, where she asked one of the audience members if they have found a missing brain. During the Finale Ultimo, is where the cast members really broke the fourth wall, as they did a talent show with the main members of the cast, which involved the audience clapping at the end of each talent performed. It was during this scene where the main cast members brought out their tap dancing abilities, which was well received with a standing ovation at the end of the
As matter of fact, the actors at some points are out in the audience, which makes for a kind of unique experience; things like lighting cues, set pieces just kind of spice it up. I think people will recognize the touch TJ theatre puts on
The house was almost entirely filled and the show was about to begin. As the show began, I had noticed that they incorporated young children in the play; at the beginning, they were sitting around in a circle and throughout the play, they had them sit in a single line on each side of the stage to signify that story telling appearance. However, they also got up to sing along on stage with the rest of the cast, which was an interesting feature of the show. I enjoyed seeing the characters walk up the stairs along the sides of the auditorium; even though the actors are not necessarily breaking the fourth wall, it made me feel as though I was involved and being recognized. I appreciated the fact that the entire cast were all under the age of twenty, which can really make a difference in the eyes of younger viewers; as a young audience member, seeing actors my age made me feel relatable to them compared to an older cast.
There are a few differences with the written play and the stage performance. The differences are minor and did not change the overall play. There were no major changes at all so the stage performance is true to the text. The characters were played very well and played the way the book described them.
I attended a Nashville Irish Stepdancers performance at the Texas Troubadour Theater. The theater was in the middle of a strip mall in Orpy Mills. The inside was setup with pews and had a very medieval essence. The performance was to be a celebration of the Irish culture and include the vibrant spirit of the heritage. In the program, the choreographer and founder of the Nashville Irish Step Dancers, Mary Moran, said that the show not only highlights traditional pieces, such as the jig and treble reel, but also explores more progressive styles of Irish dance and music.
I remember feeling entranced and taken away as I watched the musical. In my opinion, this show was a complete success and there were many aspects of the show that served as an incredibly impressive detail. The plot was a little unclear once the show began, but I believe it was meant to be that way as an attention getting device. As an audience member, I was able to clearly point out the plot points, crises, and obstacles as well as the climax, and resolution.
The scenery was weird when I first came in maybe because I wasn 't expecting to see boobs been drawn on trees and also penis on trees. Everything went well with what was going on in the stage. The outside venue was nice not like some others I 've been to. The play was interesting and really funny, well the actors made it funny. The actors would interact with the audience.
The kids were clamoring to get their pictures taken with the cast. To me the most impressive part of the experience was watching the interaction between the actors and the kids. The actors clearly understood they were still playing a role and that they had to be giving of their time and energy to them. Seeing the kids reactions solidifies that shows like this will keep the theatre culture growing by building new generations of audience
Throughout chapters 16-23 the Ewells show many ways of them lying. The two Ewells who lie during the Tom Robinson trial are Mayella and Bob Ewell. I feel Mayella and Bob lie to get the innocent man, Tom Robinson in trouble, therefore making up lies is not right. First of all, why would Mayella lie? Mayella lies to protect her father.
Overall though I thought the play was very good, the set was great, the actors were amazing. I would definitely recommend seeing this
The performers did an excellent job acting out the parts they were assigned. In the beginning of the first act, I made a note of them being very rocky in the beginning and only acting with their body language and not much with their emotions, but once they got more comfortable on stage they brought the characters to life. The main actor, Chaz Pitman, who played the role as Ben, impressed me the most because he was both the main actor and the director of the play. His acting was very believable and at the end when he was having a mental breakdown, I shed a few tears due to how convincing he made it seem. Jeeter and Salyer, who were played by Hal Greer and Kat Lys were the other two actors who captivated my attention.
Jack Doherty (17) is a grade twelve student, attending Encounter Lutheran College, Victor Harbor. Jack was introduced to theatre by his sister, Millie, both of whom worked backstage on Zest Theatre Group’s 2015 production: Beauty and the beast. Jack’s first on stage role was Sonny in Grease (ZTG January 2016) which lead him to playing Freddy Eynsford-Hill in My Fair Lady (SCCAS May 2016) and the incredible opportunity to play Pippin in Pippin - The Musical (SCCAS October 2016). Also performing at many events throughout 2016 a specific highlight was performing at the Adelaide Theatre Guide awards at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

“The Play That Goes Wrong” required a very detailed strategic plan of the arranged props and set design that actors need to follow in their performance. I believe the performers did a marvelous job in following the detailed choreography of the show. One of the most memorable cast members was Nancy Zamit. She played Annie the stage manager, who took the spotlight when she was forced into playing Charles’ fiancée named Sandra because the original female lead got "knocked unconscious” in the middle of the play. As terribly shy as she was, Zamit intensified the enjoyment of the audience as her character was reading off lines from pages of the script very awkwardly and awfully in an unfitted red dress and wig.
