Musical At The Empty Space: Play Analysis

Decent Essays
The Live Production I saw was Hurry Up Santa: The Musical at the Empty Space. Can you believe that Santa and his elves overslept on Christmas Day? Well, in this play, the kids are disappointed that Santa is late and Christmas may never come all because of Santa and his elves were lazy and overslept. My favorite character in this play was Boots. I liked him because his role was very humorous. He panics a lot and does it in a very funny way. I like to watch funny things so his acting really impressed me.
The three major conflicts in this play was Santa oversleeping, losing contact with Santa, and Christmas almost getting ruined. These three problems were really important in the play because the problems were able to let the play go on step-by-step

    Every person has had a traumatic past or an unfortunate event that has affected them one way or another; all have a different way of coping, and for Tennessee Williams it was writing. One of his better known plays,“A Streetcar Named Desire”, is a play constructed of pieces of his past childhood. The play is constructed of symbolism, aggressive diction, and conflict to be as a stage for William’s broken, beaten down mind. Tennessee Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi; he had two siblings and his mother and father- a full house. Though it may seem like he had a complete undamaged family, life wasn’t easy for him.…

    Johnson uses color to steer the audience towards feeling certain feelings such as anger. The use of color also builds up the intensity of certain situations which can cause the audience to feel and release tension. Johnson also relies on the performances by her characters and their puppets to imagine the characters at different ages which pushes how uncomfortable the audience feels when the younger and older representations are put in dangerous situations. I personally really enjoyed the play. For a few hours after I watched The Long Christmas Ride Home, I felt the stunning after effects of catharsis after watching the characters go through so much.…

    All of the performers brought something to their characters, made them tangible and relatable. From the way the young bachelor flirted with the single sister at Scrooge’s nephew’s Christmas party to the way the Ghost of Christmas Past constantly moved her hands as if she were conducting the story, each actor brought some sort of nuance to their character that made them memorable. They all were very good about making their lines understandable, although I wasn’t a big fan of Mrs. Dilber, Scrooge’s housekeeper’s, accent it seemed too forced and made everything she said seem like a joke. I did love the way that the cast included young children. They were absolutely adorable and had the audience wrapped from the moment they first walked on…

    This past Sunday I attended the school play, which was a comedy based along the storylines of The Christmas Carol. I noticed many people from the community brought their children along for the comedy. For someone who doesn’t really care for plays, or Christmas it was somewhat interesting to go into the play having doubts beforehand and coming out of it with a different view. The exposition started off the same as The Christmas Carrol.…

    Three aspects of the setting that impact this story, “How Santa Claus Came to Simpson’s Bar,” are the weather conditions, the characters’ ways of life and the season. The weather conditions in the story were rainy, so much that the streams were overflowing. This impacted the story because it made it even harder for Dick to get out. He had to cross a full and fast-flowing river. “But the brawling creek he had swam a few hours before had risen, more than doubled its volume, and now rolled a swift and resistless river between him and Rattlesnake Hill” (14).…

    April 29th 1996, Broadway’s Nederland theatre is sold out to capacity and the audience is gritting their teeth with excitement, but an overture is nowhere to be heard, the curtains are missing and the haphazardly placed lighting rigs have not yet dimmed. All at once, the stage erupts with cast members running in-between and out of the industrial themed set, a strum of a guitar is heard and a critically acclaimed overnight sensation is born in the image of Jonathon Larson. Adapted from the popular opera La Bohème, Rent the musical was created in the hopes of representing the minute bohemian culture of New York City at the end of the 20 century who were confronted with impoverishment, HIV and homosexuality. Going against traditional musical theatre…

    A Christmas Carol Critique

    The setting, lights, costuming, and actors worked cohesively to project a beautiful and whimsical adaption of Charles Dickens story. However, in my opinion, the most enjoyable aspect of my Friday night was the life lesson I grasped from sitting in the third row, investing myself in the storyline and the themes engraved deep in the script. A Christmas Carol, yet fun and lighthearted, was also courageously satirical for today’s politics, teaching society a valuable lesson about the responsibility of each man; to help those less fortunate with the fortune you…
