My amazing experience of watching “Honeymoon in Vegas” the Broadway musical, was great. There is a truly unique and amazing cast of characters who liven the show with moments of humor and good performance. Along with that, there is a story which can only be described as very romantic and full of comedy. Combining all of this with a beautiful orchestra and wonderful lyrics, Honeymoon in Vegas is a unique holiday treat. Firstly, the credit goes to the director, as the whole play was well directed; and secondly to the performers, they performed so amazing that there was no chance of finding any mistakes. The characters and the scenery went really well together. Stage lighting had a great impact on this play as well. The lighting changed the …show more content…
Scenery helps provide the unique experience that remains memorable in an individual’s mind. I went to see a broadway musical show for the first time. I have the experience of watching off Broadway musical and after watching the Honeymoon in Vegas I could see the differences. When I went inside the theatre, it looked really big and bright. There were three sections of seats in the audience chamber and a huge stage. The stage type was proscenium. There were enough lighting in the theatre. My seat was in the right orchestra section and because of that I felt little tensed. I thought I won't be able to observe the full scenario of the play. But when the show started, I was able to enjoy. The stage was covered in a lavish golden glittery curtain and in the middle there was a signboard with the name of the play with a big star and it was shining like a real one. I really liked the stage because the color contrast and the lighting were giving me that feeling of Vegas. That bold and beautiful color combinations and the scenario.. The space in front of the stage was enough to move. As the play began the first act was grouped and there were many people performing. I really liked the stage setting because every single time for every single act they were using different props, that was coming off of the stage and they made the whole act more lively. As when the play
The set of the play was built decent and looked the same. The only thing I didn't like was some of color of the stones that were painted on the walls. But, that’s just my opinion. However, I did have fun splatter painting those walls and the stairs during class. I liked how there was platforms and different ground levels, that made it more interesting. Rather than just having the stage ground there were stairs you could go up or down which set it apart. Overall, I liked the set and I thought it was built well and sturdy.
This production of What I Did Last Summer was performed in a proscenium theatre space; this space has many advantages and was a best fit for this particular play. Because of its shape, the proscenium theatre allowed for the actors to easily
The dynamics were played out excellently by the use of unity of time, place, and action. The climate was heated and so too were the members of the jury as the story progressed. The characters grew to understand each other and the audience learns more and more about the individuals. Perhaps, the motive for that said characters verdict or backstory on the matter. A few characters were highly stereotypical and the actors did a worthy job in portrayed them as accurately as possible. For such a short production, it was an extremely elaborate one. The absence of an intermission also played an important role in keeping the audience submerged in the action. The use of the thrust stage made the acting and situation feel more real. The message was powerful and received well by the audience.
The setting was cluttered with upside chairs and a dark blue color all across the stage. I liked that everything was cluttered to represent the feeling that the characters did not what to with their life. The setting was boxes stacked on top of each other of both sides of the stage. I didn’t like their setting structure because I only felt that it matched with the waterfall scene in Puerto Rico.
One of its numerous strengths was the costuming and set. This musical would not have been the same had these elements not come together to transport the viewer. In addition to the costuming and the set, the actors were very well cast. Each actor was in a role that fit them and they portrayed their characters very well. For example, the man who played Glen really seemed like a greedy Wall Street worker. The choreography was also well done. It fit true to the style of dance in the 1980s and added to the immersion experience. The only thing that could have made this experience better would be to add more music. This may just be a personal preference, but when I see a musical I like for the music to be central like it is in Hamilton or Les Miserables. However, this musical was very good and not much could be added to enhance the
First impression of the play when I first walked in was one of confusion. The stage design was not distinguishable. I could not tell what was going on or what it was supposed to be. One thing I could
One of the very first electrified streets in the United States was Broadway. This gave it many opportunities to become a large icon for our nation. As we know now it is one of the most well-known places for great entertainment. However Broadway was not always the iconic entertainment center it is today; it was stolen, had New York City emerge around it, and persevered through many difficult economic and cultural times.
Personally I loved this show. By seeing it in the very theater it opened in, I saw the best possible version and the performance was incredible. Everyone involved was very talented and helped make the musical an incredible piece of art. I found the music to be extremely enjoyable and extremely hilarious and I felt even more connected to it coming from the city of Fort Collins, which has a large Mormon population. I would give this musical a 9/10 and would recommend it for everyone that is not easily
The setup of the stage was very simple. It was the living room of a home in the early 1980’s. It looked like a normal household, and it had small things such as crumpled up pieces of paper lying around the wastebasket. It also had a couch, circular class table and a recliner in the living room. The dining room was to the left side of the stage and only had the dining table and surrounding chairs. There was a door in the back of the set where characters entered and exited through. Beside the door was a table and stool where Willum presumably worked on his blueprints for the hotel. The lighting design was great; it put you into the atmosphere of the
The set is very simple and takes place in the same location. The stage fit the minimal requirements for the scenes within the play. The lighting and sound were also very straightforward and consistent with the minimal effects as well. The costumes and props were very fitting for the role of the characters in the play. With the apparel matching the individuality of the characters.
The production had many elements which for the most part formed a coalition to further the plot. The characters, the three part scenery and costumes represented well the period of time these people were going through. As far as the performers entering and exiting the stage, it could have been more organized. There were a few times when the performers exited at the wrong times or it seemed so due to the echo of the music. At certain moments the music was slightly loud and drowned the performers. Many of the songs dragged on, so the pacing could have been more effectively executed. Though the music was off at times, the director's decision to have most of the songs performed center sage was a wise one. Also the implementation of actual white characters that were competent in their roles came as a great surprise to the audience and heightened the realism.
The staging and technical theatre aspects such as costume, makeup, lighting, staging & acting were all very professional, the sound quality was spread evenly throughout the room, the stage was smaller than I imagined but they still had room to act, and perform the plays, no crowding at all. The main character in The Actor’s nightmare was dressed in a Shakespearean style outfit since he was reciting Hamlet and in The real inspector hound the two critics were dressed in a suit and tie. Also, the music matched perfectly with each scene, there would be mysterious music for a suspenseful scene. There were not any technical difficulties what so ever. This made my first comedy play experience so
The only downfall with zero scene changings, was the clutter on the stage was sometimes a little hard to see past. I was sitting stage left right next to the saloon, and sometimes I couldn’t see the actors past the bed posts on Mayme’s bed. Another scenic design that Trevino portrayed, was the delicate details of the flooring in each room. Before the show started, I just assumed that the play was taking place in one house, but the usage of different flooring allowed the audience to realize that each corner was a completely different building.
The show was natural because all the cast understands their roles well. They have a great voice. All the songs sound great. Monica, Nathan, and Kimberly voices were just unbelievable. It makes the audience sink into the play more and more. The show flows well and the director has done a great job. She gives the actors/actresses to use their own way to portray the characters other than just telling them what do to. Something that can do better is the dancing. In the play, the dance was off because there are so many dancers it understandable that they don’t have the same pace. It would be great that they dance at the same pace. For example, during the ball, there is one couple who dance faster than the rest but at the end they still catch up with each other. It was nice when actors and crew move the set in the dark. Some crew wears black so they are see less visible. It is a great idea when the directors did that. Something that the play did well was the set, the dresses, the jokes, songs and many other
There wasn’t any particular scene on stage that made me doubt the integrative work of the director since all the staging work such as lighting, design, costumes and performance were well coordinated and blended for a very good production. The lights were well positioned with well fitted costumes and a very ideal scene to match. There wasn’t much change of scenes in the play except for some movement of tables and chairs. There was an entrance and exit for the performers which made their movements uninterrupted. There was a loud sound of a bell when school was over while the lights were dimmed whenever there was a change of scene. The pace of the production was very smooth since one scene followed the other without delay and most likely because most of the performers wore the same costume; especially all eight students wore the same costume for the entire
