The show starts at 8pm. The time was 7:30, I was just leaving the house, and it was raining. My wife and I had to hurry because it would take almost all of 30 minutes to get to the “The Boogie Woogie Christmas Show”. Feeling pressured to get to the show on time I started to feel frustrated. When we got there, it was still raining. We go in, get the tickets, and seat ourselves in the middle of the middle row. Looking around and observing the audience, I unintentionally stereotyped the show. I noticed quite a few older people and to make a simple sentence of my thoughts, I undermined the show. The stage décor and characters apparel was of the 1940’s era so I said to myself, “Let’s see what they got.” The show opening was not your normal “seating lights off, stage lights on, start the show”...
After the long wait to get in you found your seat and waited for the group who was first. You would figure that know one would be doing any drugs due to the search before you got in there, but I was wrong not even ten minutes before the show you could smell the pot in the air. That was one of the few things wrong with this wild and crazy concert. After it was over that was all you smelled like and you were feeling the contact buzz as it felt like things were moving in slow motion.
opening band appeared. At this time, there were not very many people in the audience.

The director’s concept was again realized in a very creative and simple way. The stage crew did not have time to literally place trees on the stage, or to paint a border that elaborate—the light made the slatted walls look real and really allowed the audience to become a part of the experience.

Lights, camera, action! The light switches on, and shines brightly in the center of the stage. Two people walk towards it, these are actors that were told to come out at this exact moment by the director. After days of intense rehearsals. The two young actors burst. “We are tired of working for you” the two participants yell towards the director. The director in a surprising manner walks up to the stage, stares down at the performers and laughs. “You are going nowhere; I have your contract and your pay, now back to your positions!” The performers stand and continue their roles with no opinion in the matter. The camera turns off, the shadows of the actors disappear. The common person stands up and is face to face with the director. The director
The play “A Christmas Carol – A ghost story of Christmas” by Charles Dickson, directed by James Black in Houston, TX was performed in a similar way in “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickson, directed by Michael Wilson in Washington, D.C. The both plays had similarities and differences throughout the play in which demonstrated different creativity from the different directors. The rating that was given by the reviewer of the play in Washington gave a 5 out of 5 star rating. For the play that I went to watch the rating I would give it would be a 5 star rating.
If you know this song, it 's probably now stuck in your head. Kind of like "It 's A Small World." Now you have two annoying songs stuck in your head. You 're welcome. Just sharing the joy!
In the fictional play, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley, by Israel Horovitz, Scrooge’s first impression is not very good. He refuses to donate to the poor, he dismisses family who want a relationship, and he is miserable and tries to make others the same way. When two men come to see Scrooge, they were asking for donations for the poor. Scrooge, being one of the wealthiest people in the community, is very dismissive, wrongfully so, and asks the two men to leave empty handed. When Scrooge asks if there are workhouses for the poor to go to, the men explain that most people would rather die than to go there. In response Scrooge states, “If they would rather die, than they had better do it and decrease the surplus in population.” (649) When

In the musical, the actors guide the audience through a story of tragedy and defeat, angst and despondency, liberation and acceptance. Everything appears fairly normal during the opening
I saw A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Saturday, November 9th 2013, produced by the Trinity Repertory Company at 206 Washington Street in Providence Rhode Island, performed in the Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Theatre on opening night of the season. Charles Dickens also wrote the famous Oliver Twist and A Tale of Two Cities. When A Christmas Carol was published in 1843, Christmas was just coming into vogue as a popular holiday. The play was adapted by Adrian Hall along with original music by Richard Cumming. My first impression of the play was that it was very elaborate, well prepared. The whole place smelled like a polished mansion and intentionally like apple cider. Cardis Furniture and Amica were the biggest sponsors. There was more older audience members than young people, which made me think they had seen other versions of the play before. I had seen the play at Trinity Repertory before and I was actually in A Christmas Carol at one time. The predispositions of most of the audience members was irritated, impatient and exasperated because of the long wait to get early tickets, then there was no seating to wait to get in upstairs, and once we all got in the theatre the seating was too crowded. This was all ridiculous, but I was just glad to get cheap seats. The price was “pay what you can” and I sat in the high up on the side is Aisle 6, Section 5, Row J, Seat 506.
After 15 minutes people were starting to get frustrated because nothing was happening. It is a good thing. Suddenly there was activity onstage and the lights dimmed. the first support band, Slam Cartel, came on. The mosh pit went wild.
Without warning, the lights went dark. This was the moment I had been waiting for. My adrenaline went through the roof. The time had finally come that I would get to see and hear my first live concert.
Then audience members who were perfect strangers who were screaming loudest would turn to each other with knowing glances and smile because they were sharing the same excitement and connecting with one another over their love of this man’s music. There was no pushing or shoving to get closer to the stage – it wasn’t that kind of crowd. Instead, there was mutual respect for one another’s space within the confines of the too-small venue. Nobody wanted to be the person who ruined it for someone else. It was this respect that made the audience members’ connections with one another that much stronger – we were all here to listen to this wonderful man’s music and see his performance – and, of course, we were here to enjoy it.
