Todd McNerney, the director, creates an atmosphere that brings the inner child out of adults and serves as quality entertainment for kids. This production offers great music, acting, and design; which are paired with a great script and music from Lapine and Sondheim. Even though the play had…

package to arrive with her costume for Comic Con, it had finally arrived on her mother’s birthday. Hatziminadakis very excitedly opened the package and first got a look at her costume she was very happy that it had arrived.

Let down by this, she told her mom and she had come to the rescue. The costume of a…

was not elaborate but that is good so that the singers would not get breathy and sound bad. I liked that there were a lot of formation changes in every musical number because it allowed every dancer to be seen in the front and to show off different costumes with different movements. The singing was good overall. Riff Raff was my favorite singer because he had a nice clear voice and could hit some challenging skips and slides up and down the octaves. Brad, Frank, and Riff Raff all sang from their…

the dance community disagree whether and to what extent Riverdance has played a role in these changes. The scholarly articles, dissertations, and books examined in this literature review examine different aspects of the art and sport: changes in costumes, technique and demographic of the dancers.

struggling financially. The four aim to help the General. The show was at the Empire Arts Center in Grand Forks, a Proscenium theatre. The stagecraft of the play was like most plays I’ve attended. The play had several components of stagecraft, such as costumes, sound, props, and lighting. For the entire play the background was a snowy forest, which most likely supposed to represent rural Vermont. At the beginning of the play, there were three green blocks sitting upright. Towards the beginning,…

The effective costumes provide character information even before the characters speak. Some of the questions that the costumes successfully answered are “Is the character female or male?” “How old is the character?” “What kind of personality does the character have?” and “Is the character of high or low status in society?” Audience members need to distinguish between classes and the individuals apart and the costume designer successfully accomplished this task.

back. The elements that stand out in Shrek The Musical are the costumes, a heavy amount of singing, and the acting, which all appeal to the 75$ price tag. To emphasize the costumes, the director of Shrek the Musical did a fantastic job bringing the animated characters to life. The wool pajama looking pants and the vest made of onions really depicts him as a scary, but really laid back guy who’s not looking to hurt anyone. The costume Fiona wears is elegant and appeals to the audience for it’s…
