For many young theatre lovers, Stephen Sondheim is their introduction the the musical theatre world. Whether it be from Into the Woods to West Side Story, Sondheim has been a great inspiration to those wanting to be introduced to the musical theatre world. People praise Sondheim on his ability to create compelling characters and expanded worlds that the characters live in. What Sonheim is credited for most, however, is his creation of the plotless musical. He created a bunch of characters and then proceeded to round out their stories into one song. He took seven one act plays and created one musical. Company was created in the 1970s and reflected the values of the time while being able to still reflect the values of today.

The play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” was performed in Indiana University, in Bloomington, on November 2013. The acting in the play was very well performed, for a couple of different reasons. Each actor seemed to develop a personal relation with its own character and thought about the smallest details for their characters.

Jonathan Larson had a knack for reinventing theater in 1988 he was awarded with the Richard Rodgers Production Award for Superbia, a story parallel to George Orwell’s 1984” (http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mp6/rent/auth/author.html) He also reinvented La Boheme into an updated American musical drawing from many personal events.

The set which was the interior of a hotel, was quite detailed and included all the bells and whistles (literally). For instance, the multiple doors integrated was perfect for the exaggerated and dramatic slams, that usually signaled a musical number. The one thing I will say that was a bit disappointing, was that lack of luxury. The way the hotel on Broadway was described to me from my sister, who is a theater enthusiast, was that it was one of luxury and money, but I felt although it was an intricate set, it did fall short on the little affluent particulars, such as the chandeliers I heard so much about. Eric Nelson on the other hand designed the lighting design, which I personally enjoyed because I thought he clearly and boldly highlighted the hilarious mischief of the production.

A life of fame, luxury, and well known plays. This was unquestionably the life of Arthur Miller, who is one of America’s well known playwrights of the twentieth century. His impact on American theater is still recognized today and will continue to be looked at for years to come.
