Spring Awakening Play Analysis

This theme was conveyed by the play being both a comedy and a musical. These two forms of drama brought with it both wittiness and purity, both of which are a direct correlation youthfulness. And the character’s ability to sing with clarity helped boost such a message. The role such clarity played is relevant to American culture, today. In order for people to listen, in a society with so much information, a message must be clear and transparent. Although it is not necessary

In conclusion, I thought this play was a great choice for me to see at the theatre. I was glad I went to see it because it made me realize that your opinion doesn’t have to be the most popular opinion. I need to stand up for what I believe in and that is what this play taught me. I do prefer a comedy over a tragedy and I am upset with the ending but I cannot complain because I enjoyed this play very

The play is dramatic, exciting, and little bit confusing. The conversation took in the play was too fast, so that in some parts I do not really understand the conversation. The story was exciting and carrying the feminism issue in which woman shows her power in the marriage but still in the end of story she frustrated under the man’s power. The story is kind of tragedy drama, in which someone killed herself to avoid the reality that she becomes person of interest in criminal case. I like either the setting of the stage and the costumes. Moreover, the lighting was so eye catching and attracted the audience to feel like in the Victorian era. In addition, the act of the performers was also good. The artists performed very well. However, sometimes they could not cover the conversation by developing improvisation when they forgot the scenario.

The use of drama, comedy and violence in scenes were alternated abrubtly, it wasn't easy to watch and it left me unsure about what the play was about and its message to the audience.

In the University of Alabama’s performance of A Chorus Line, the performers tackled this infamous piece for its dramatizations of what actors and performers endure in the line of work that is theatre. As explained by the actors in the documentary “Every Little Step”, being a performer in A Chorus Line is the ultimate dream because it was made by actors for actors. There were a few factors that made the University of Alabama’s performance stand out to me including the choreography, seeing the documentary Every Little Step before the show, and the live music.

On a nutshell, this play was very successful to bring out the real emotion of the story. From the beginning to the end, every scene and dialog is in my mind. Every expression has been imprinted in mind. This play has taught me a very vital lesson. The only way we can find a solution to our complicated relationship is through understanding and finding a way to love each other for who we are and nothing

I really enjoyed this play because there was so much significance within the characters’ lives and the author’s life. I learned many interesting facts about the character which managed to capture my attention throughout my research and while reading the

Overall, I thought the performance was thoroughly enjoyable. The actors, scenery, costumes, and music all came together to create a memorable show. The production had a light, comedic feel at times, and a sad, melancholy tone in others. The play showcases the harsh reality of relationships, that they are not always as happy and carefree as you would believe. In the end, Robert and the audience come to the realization that even though relationships and marriages can be tough, sometimes it is worth it to have someone special in your life. The play ends with Robert still single, but he has a more positive outlook on his life, perhaps he is now ready to get married if the right woman comes along in his

On September 30, 2016, I attended the musical Spring Awakening, by Steven Sater. The musical production was performed by the West Georgia Theater Company and directed by Shelly Elman. The production was definitely something to remember, but after it was over I felt slightly relieved. Personally I wouldn't recommend anyone to go see this Spring Awakening performance. Each scene brought different emotions about such as confusion, disbelief, astonishment, humor, and shock. When arriving to the musical I was a bit excited, because I was hearing about the content that was supposedly being displayed on stage and I thought this musical was definitely going to be interesting. Towards the end of the musical the title went from Spring Awakening to Falling

My limited experience with Broadway suggests that musical theatre has its own special beauty. However, it is different from that of ballet! Broadway-themed ballets, therefore, are less appealing, and programs focusing on such works--any pragmatic reasons behind them notwithstanding--problematic. The second week of NYCB's Spring Season is not comparable to the first. With such talented performers the "Tribute to Robbins" program (I did not attend "All Robbins No. 1: Bernstein Collaborations”) nevertheless could not be devoid of any delights.

The play is rather extraordinary; brilliant writing by Mike Bartlett, and amazing directing and performances by the cast as well. The storyline has some great twists and turns that keeps the audience excited, and when a particular scenario progresses into a state that one really did not expect, it heightens the excitement, thereby resulting in quite the thrill.

Every man and every woman will reach their time of death, will question their morality, and will wonder how God's decision on Judgment Day might be affected by their morality or lack of. Some plays were created to help people see the ethics behind certain situations which would them determine what is right versus what is wrong. These plays are known as morality plays. Everyman happens to be a morality play that is by an author who remains unknown to this day. This particular play is about a man, Everyman, who is approached by death and proceeds to go on a spiritual voyage. He acquires a task in which he has to redeem himself and become a better man in the eyes of God. The reason for this task is so that he avoids purgatory and does not perish

On November 16th, I attended the Rollins College theatrical production of Sense and Sensibility. To preface, I particularly enjoyed this play and the romantic storyline that was elegantly portrayed by the wonderful actors and actresses. Like many other plays I’ve seen, this one was quite hard to follow at the beginning, as I had no clue where the story was taking off, but about 15 minutes into it, I began to realize the storyline that was developing. Additionally, I appreciated the “happily ever after” ending, as I felt like the story was going to end in heartbreak. In discussion of the ethical issues within the play I will delve into the aspects of greed, selfishness, and betrayal. Thus I’ll explore the ideals of greed within the play.

Even to this day, I would still listen to the songs from the musical because they were just that unforgettable. The one technical element I really love though was the costumes, especially Paula’s. The two dresses Paula wears in the production are so beautiful- it kind of also characterized Paula at the same time. Paula married Frank Sr. when he was a soldier stationed in France. She is depicted as a beautiful women who got the whole room’s attention on the dance floor. Her two stylish and flowy dresses characterizes her elegance and sophisticated
