I highly enjoyed Kyra Selman cabaret show at Rockwell. She did an amazing job telling a story in a musical genre. Songs that really stood out are I am what I am, Drunken Love, and Black Girl Medley. The reason those songs stood out because most likely they are songs I have heard already, while majority of the other songs in Kyra cabaret I did not recognize and can not give a name. I enjoyed the whole show but the areas where I know the songs help me remember the story.
I believe when Kyra was explaining the time how she was the only female working in a gay bar, she set it the story in a comedic manner. Kyra mentioned how she was the nice girl who had to kick the men out when they were drunk, because she seem the nicest out of all the guy. Unfortunately a man called her bitch, at first she was extremely upset. Eventually she came to realize the she is a bitch, a Fierce Vixen Bitch. After the realization Kyra sang I am what I am from the musical La Cage aux Folles, which is a song …show more content…
This part of the story did not have much story. Before the song she mention that her life in New York and she didn’t have much luck booking roles in those iconic black women roles. The medley was well executed, singing songs that get the audience excited. And she ended the great medley with I’m telling you from Dream Girls.
If I was to create a cabaret I would try to make a more present tense show rather past tense. I would probably have multiple characters who are coming to a job interview. It would be showing the character process through the interview and see how they handle under pressure and of course they all break into song. I think that would be a fun entertaining challenge that I and the audience would enjoy. Cabarets are shows that need lots of thought and hard work. Kyra did an excellent job performing her show and I am extremely proud of
