For starters The Wizard of Oz was amazing! I admit at first, I was skeptical because the movie isn’t my favorite, but it was actually really good. The way they didn’t the tornado and Dorothy’s entrance and departure from Oz was really cool. And don’t get me started on the dog! I’m not really a dog person, I’m more of a cat person but that dog was cute! When that dog first came on stage it was really funny because the entire audience went, “ Awwwww”. That dog was the most calm dog I have ever seen. Dorothy was holding that dog from like half of the show and it didn’t jump out of her arms or bark. When the witch took the dog, and the dog came back it didn’t run anywhere but back to Dorothy. My only complaint about the dog is that if felt like …show more content…

They did a good job getting the red shoes on Dorothy. She had the little people around her kind of laying in a circle putting the red ones on. When they were singing that the witch was dead, you couldn’t see the mayor’s face because his hat covered his face. The lollypop guys had Alfalfa hair, it was bright yellow with a piece standing up. The Wizard of Oz was like a sports announce. He had the ultimate death stare, and smoke coming out of his nose. His assistant had what looked like one of the old baby doll’s dresses on it. It was so horrible. Don’t even get me started on the sign that he put on the door. You couldn’t read it and I was close to the stage. There was probably three signs in the whole play and I couldn’t read any of them. The people behind me probably couldn’t even see that there were signs. Time for the complaints! Why do they have to sing so much?!?!?! There was so much singing! Every time we met a new character there was a song to go with it. Dorothy could not sign, she was so flat. The birds and the trees sung better than she did. I couldn’t understand what they were saying sometimes. When the characters yelled, it was just screaming no words. They didn’t angle out at

Some of the elements that stood out that were really good where the music, the videos, and the props. I think the Alabama Ballet did a great job of turning Bonnie and Clyde into a ballet. At first I did not think that it was going to be good, but they stuck to the story and the dancing was easily to follow the

Although The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz (Remake) both are musical films, they both have the same name of characters such as Dorothy Gale, The Scarecrow, The Tinman and The cowardly lion, However the films are different from each other. Yet in The Wizard of Oz there were American star actors such as Judy Garland, Ray Bolger and Jack Haley to start off the original version. On the other hand The Wiz had an African American cast such as Diana Ross, Michael Jackson from the Motown productions of the well-known Quincy Jones.

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.

When I attended Shrek the Musical put on by Wylie High Schools Theater Department, I admit that I did not have high expectations.

Shrek the Musical consisted of a tremendous cast, beautiful music, awe inspiring scenery in addition to heart felt imagery.
