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
Overall, I enjoyed this play. Even with the dull ending, I found it to be entertaining and a good use of my time. The cast was great and they made good use of a decent
The Hippodrome setting played a big role in the success of the play, because the seats were close to the stage, which made the audience feel more intimate with the actors. The set was filled with everyday electronics and video games that were popular with today’s generation, and it was good way to capture the attention of the younger audience. The costumes worked for the actors because they were outfits that teens and young adults would wear, which made it easier to relate to the characters. The lighting for the production was awesome because it went well with the sound effects. For example, when Ian was doing a simulation for his new job, he set off a missile and when it exploded the lights changed from blue to red to symbolize seriousness of the situation.
It was good setting to get the attention from the audience and also a way to move around or change settings of the play. Although I love this play my small critic for this play was the players. Some others actors had understandable accents but others didn’t. For example, the brother of the servant his accent was confusing because he kept switching his accent from different country languages. This play was really nice it had a little of bit of everything drama, comedy, romance, betrayal. What like about this play it was how they used the dramatic structure the inciting incident and the climax. The inciting incident for this play of musical comedy murders of 1940 was guessing who the killer of the play was because there was tension building up not knowing who the murder was. The climax for this play would be for me finding out who was the murder and just being in shock how everything had change into a new scenario. Overall it was amazing show how it developed and how well an organized transition 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.
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.
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 Wedding Singer was put on by the Ole Miss Theatre Department on November 11, 2016. It took place in Fulton Chapel on the Ole Miss campus and featured a very talented cast of Ole Miss students. Rene Pulliam was the director and Kate Prendergast was the choreographer for this musical. The play was dynamic and engaging. From the acting, to the set, to the energy of the cast, The Wedding Singer was a lively musical that left the viewer feeling excited and spirited.
On a cold, brisk Tuesday night, I attended the musical called Urinetown by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis. Urinetown was held in Rowand-Johnson Hall, at the Marian Gallaway Theatre. As I quickly walked in the entrance, I noticed that people were wearing casual attire. I gave the usher my ticket and walked to my seat. This time my seat was located up at the front so I had a great view of the stage. This particular theatre is my favorite, it is very open and you can see from every seat. This musical is known to be a musical comedy which deals with different themes, unique text, and extraordinary technical elements.
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 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.
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
