    After standing in the middle of her living room, playing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for an hour, I leave her apartment and put on Isaac Stern’s recording of these concertos. As I enter the 81st Street subway station, Stern is emulating the summer sounds of the cuckoo's voice and sweet songs of the turtledove and finch but somehow I still overhear a female cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” I usually ignore subway musicians but this was one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists and this girl sounded really good…

    Up until this one she kept all the lyrics the same but this one she created a parody of one of Avril Lavigne’s songs and even mimicked her outfit. The reason I am writing about this is because although she is playing different characters she is doing it so well you can tell the difference between her regular self from the characters. She played on stereotypes and popular music genres and put the act of theatre into a simple…

    This classic role takes not only a classically trained voice but also the acting skills to become this girl and go on this journey of psychological and physical battles with the phantom. Knowing Marissa as a Terry Scholar and peer in other classes outside of the theatre and performance world I knew she was a hard working and sweet individual, but I had no idea of the talent for the stage that she has. Working with David Gaschen she definitely had a challenge but she dove into the role head first and the time and work that she spent preparing for the role was extremely evident and made for a wonderful well rounded performance. I am so fortunate that I was able to experience Lubbock’s own little Broadway for however a short amount of time it was. I can now happily say that I have had my Phantom of the Opera experience and understand what the obsession with the phantom is and why that it is regarded as one of the if not the most well know, successful, and extraordinary piece of work that had been brought to the stage in the last…
