The Sound Of Music is a one of kind classic. So many people enjoy the musical because of the upbeat easy sing along songs. The music in this musical is engaging and hard not to like.

Every family member is important in the role of finding safety. Sharing the same goal helps the family bond together. Just like any other families they have their issues. For example, sixteen going on Seventeen is a scene families can relate to. Teenage years are a difficult time for girls. The song conveys that message. She is wanting her life to start and feels like it will start when she is seventeen. Another family dynamic that is seen is through the captain. He is seen as the “typical” father figure strict and as disciplinarian. I believe he lacks parenting skills because he is strict. Parenting is finding a balance. You do not want to be too strict because later in life your kids will resent you. Or to liberal and your kids will not follow rules. When he does the room inspection his kids laugh at him. I think this shows how his children view him. His children view the room inspection as comical. But when he meets Maria she balances him out. Maria is fun loving and has a good imagination. Her personality works well with kids and them like her. She adds some color in the black and white world the kids are used to be living

The musical begins with an animated Disney-like illustration performed by the actors communicating some history on the religion of The Book of Mormon. Before attacking the entire summary and analysis of the musical, it would be a good time to make note that the creator for the production had intended for this musical to be a spectacle. Besides the point of addressing a religion in a humorous matter, they wanted the musical to have elements that are traditionally associated with Disney musicals and other blockbuster plays such as Wicked. Thus elaborate scenery, creative choreography and show-stopping musical numbers form a big part of the production. At the very top of the musical the audience is introduced to some history and ideas of the religion by characters that are dressed in animated clothing that is lit like mechanical characters at Disney world.

The dialogue and lyrics are straightforward and full of ironic elements, which bring a lot of fun to enjoy. The transition from lines into a song is pretty smooth. For example, when Shrek is “hurt” by what Fiona says and his anger reaches a climax, he naturally starts to sing to express his emotion. In addition, the music, which embraces several styles such as pop, rock and jazz, also add dynamics into the show. So in sum, the writing of the show is appealing.

Before reading this musical, I did not have good idea of what it was about. I thought it was a comedy in some ways, but I did not except it to be so dramatic. This musical touches on subjects that are very fragile. I did not expect the son to be a ghost, and to have died when he was younger, and he is a ghost in the musical. With the musical being so emotional, there is a lot of adult content.

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
