Week 3 digital review of Savage Rose Classical Theatre Company's June 2014 production of THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare. This closing show of the 5th anniversary season is what I watched for this week’s digital review. The you tube websites is Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czFoUWwd6mI has created a tapped live stage performance of that takes place in theater setting. The Tempest in my opinion is a Shakespearean classic tale that takes place in inside of a small arena with a stage close enough to see all the actors and actresses costume designs.
A lot of developments were being made in the 1942-1945 time period. The US started to really get involved with World War ll, and race wars were breaking out in a number of major cities. Even with all of this madness going on Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein ll were able to create two beautiful shows, Oklahoma! and Carousel. These two amazing pieces of theatre have some dynamic characters that shed light on the rural American economic, social, and sexual complexities of that time.
During this time Alvin was only 27 years old when the ballet had premiered. Some would say that this piece was one of Alvin’s greatest masterpiece. He had found his own voice in the creative artist he was presenting on the concert dance
From the initial reaction to the announcement, everyone seemed excited as can be. Three long, hard months of work all come down to just five shows, each two hours long. To have these musicals there is a lot of work to be done in a little amount of time. At Kings Junior High every performer is not only required to be at all of their rehearsal times, but have private one on one singing coaching, and donating some of their time to the building of the set. For a show to have a good outcome, every single person must be putting in a lot of time and effort, not just as rehearsals but at home also.
Stephen Schwartz is a composer and lyricist known for his work on Godspell (1976), Pippin (1972), The Magic Show (1974), and most recently Wicked (2003). He studied music at Julliard and Carnegie Mellon University, before breaking into the performance industry as a producer. After producing he moved on to writing musicals for Broadway and songs for film. He has written songs for movies, such as Disney’s Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (“Biography The Pieces of My Heart”). But, his big break was writing the score of Godspell.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and His Influence on Modern Musical Theatre Many people would consider Tony Award winning composer, lyricist, and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda a genius. With his musicals In the Heights and Hamilton, Miranda has been able to relate to modern audiences. His innovative uses of hip-hop, diverse casts, and commentary about race and immigration in his musicals allow his works to stand out amongst other modern Broadway shows.
Severance Hall is home to the world renowned orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra. Due to my father playing french horn in the orchestra and my Mother being a vocalist, listening to music was part of my daily life. Close to the age of four, my Mother began to take me to orchestra performances at the hall. It would be another seven years before I found a reason to delve into music when I picked up the trumpet in the fifth grade. The satisfaction kept me going for long enough that I would find exciting paths to walk.
When I attended Shrek the Musical put on by Wylie High Schools Theater Department, I admit that I did not have high expectations. I had always enjoyed the Shrek movies, but was not prepared to witness the green Ogre come to life before my eyes. From the moment the characters marched down the isle of the auditorium, it was evident that many talented people had put time in effort into making this performance enjoyable and memorable. Shrek the Musical consisted of a tremendous cast, beautiful music, awe inspiring scenery in addition to heart felt imagery.
New York is a great town, filled with new sights and old friends. One of the many things that Bullard TALENT did in my 7th grade year while in New York was sight-see. Bullard TALENT traveled all over the city, observing the busy residents and the famous landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Central Park. While all of these places were unforgettable, in my opinion, the best thing that we got to see was a Broadway production of Aladdin. It was truly amazing.
When thinking about the production The Long Christmas Ride Home, I can say that I have very mixed feelings. On one hand, I don’t really like watching theatre productions that aren’t musicals. When a production is not a musical, I find myself drifting off into boredom at times. However, The Long Christmas Ride Home definitely kept me hooked and was unlike any production that I have ever seen. While watching the Long Christmas Ride Home, that biggest idea that I could take away from it was that I really liked the plot of the production.
The theatre is fully equipped with a motion picture and performing arts theatre, along with an orchestra space and a large organ. The theatre owners of the 1920s believed that movies alone wouldn't draw enough of a crowd and that a theatre should include live stage shows and lavish interior ("A Thing of Beauty"). Stars such as Elvis Presley, Bob Hope, Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, and Sally Rand have made appearances at the theatre ("Florida Architecture"). Today, the theatre portion of the building is still in use and hosts about two hundred concerts and events each year. It's pretty obvious the Jacksonville, Florida has more than enough culture and plenty of attractions for the entire family.
Most Native American tribes were riddled with diseases, often wiping out the whole tribe, or mostly all except for a few. Those few left were often younger, and had to reinvent themselves and their tribe. Often, the survivors of several different groups would come together to form a different group. Disease wasn’t the only threat to the native people, as many were enslaved and often wouldn’t survive the harsh conditions. The enslavement, the transport of illnesses, and natives refusing to give up their land took a toll on the relationship between the Natives and Europeans.
Music and the arts were heavily involved into Jonathan Larson’s life as a child and young adult. He was born February 4, 1961, in White Plains, New York, and was always musically inclined as a child. His parents found it vital to involve musical theatre into Jonathan and his sister Julie’s childhood. The Encyclopedia of World Biography states that “when Larson was a child; he was taken to see a children’s version of La Boheme, Giacomo Puccini’s opera about a group of struggling young artists or “Bohemians.” From that seed, the idea that would become Rent, slowly germinated over the next two decades” (Jonathan Larson).
On November 28th, 2015 I attended Ben Stevenson’s version of The Nutcracker which was being performed by the Houston Ballet at the Wortham Theater Center. The dance featured two separate acts and multitude of dances as well as a live orchestra. The Nutcracker demonstrated the ability to unleash a multitude of emotions as well captivate its audience with music composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky of the Romantic era, usage of modern technologies and techniques such as lighting and special effects, as well as its wide variety of dance types such as solo dances, pas de deux, and large group dances with a focus on a central figure or couple. Despite dance being the primary subject, it is necessary to note the performance of the orchestra of Tchaikovsky’s
