The Sound Of Music Play Analysis

Improved Essays
I went to the play of the Sound of Music on Sunday March 11th at 2:00 pm. There was a great story line to this play and I thought the scenery was great as well. They did a great job, but it wasn’t my favorite play either. I thought it was a tough play to get interested in and I never really feel in love with the concept. There were many positives, negatives and quality performances in the play though. I believe that one positive of this play was the music and lighting. I thought the music was always very appropriate for the setting and although it was based off of a movie the music crew was never off or unprepared for that scene. I have seen the movie before and based off the movie, I thought they did a great job of resembling the movie and working their hardest to reenact the movie. I thought the lighting was great as well and they dimmed the lights and turned them on at appropriate times. I also though the backdrops looked really good too and the prop crew did great. I feel that the hardest part for me throughout the play was how long it was and there was never a time I can say I was really excited or interested during the story. For me I enjoy some action or excitement which I didn’t receive during this play. I never really felt like I was drawn into the play. Through the play, there was …show more content…
They all put there heart and souls in every part of that play. They all contributed and made it a strong atmosphere for there family and friends as well as the audience. No, this was by no means my favorite play but that's ok because they people that contributed to that play, where willing to put a lot out there through there acting and personalities. I thought that the play could have used a little more excitement and thrill but overall it was a great play that I would suggest for people to see because of the story line and the work ethic put into the play to put on the best show

    I followed along with each play and felt as though I was apart of the cast. From what I know the cast must be comfortable with the stage. They must use hand movements and their tone of voice to impress the audience, along with keeping the audience on board with what goes on. I felt the cast of these plays were very comfortable with the stage. They did an amazing job of keeping me awake and “on track” with what was going on.…

    I think they were successful because they added comedy, which made it fun to watch and easier to understand. The play was so well written that everything just came together. Also, I believe the goal was to keep the audience on their ties to include them into the play so it could seem like we were n a journey with them. In this way the author makes sure he engages the audience so they wouldn’t be left behind. Yes, overall I do think the artist achieved their goal.…

    It was such a good play that until today I am still speechless about it and I still recommend it to my friends to go see it even though they do not have to because they are not taking the class. I was so focused during the entire play because I did not want to miss anything at all and I was really impressed of how good they were with acting. I was wondering if one of the actors will forget their line, but no they did not forget a single line at all, which I am really impressed. It affects me individually by learning how to accept people around me no matter who they are whether they have a disability or not. In all honesty, they are still human who deserve the same love as other people who does not have any disability.…

    The Last Night of Ballyhoo was a play well done by the ensemble at the Quintero theatre for several reasons. The costumes, lighting, set, body language, and music all played a role in the development of the play and conveying the theme of anti-Semitism internalized in the Jewish community and to embrace one's heritage despite the hardships that one may face. The protagonist - Sunny- and antagonist of the play- Boo- displayed their motives well through the delivery of dialogue, therefore their motivations were clear. As part of the audience, I believe the best actor was Reba played by Lauren Ufkes and the least captivating to watch was Peachy played by Troy Beckman due to a few reasons. The theme of The Last Night of Bayllyhoo that I gathered…

    Set design and light design are only two of the features that made this play great. There was much more than just set design and light design involved and with that said, I truly believe that everyone who cooperated in the production of this play did an amazing job. In my opinion, I believe that the theater artists were trying to show how powerful friendship is, as well as aging. Both Miss Daisy and Hook become very close and at the same time they were also getting older and losing their abilities to do…

    We theatre kids may desire the spotlight, but it is a very worthwhile experience to work behind the scenes in the dark (literally) at least once in a while. Even when lighting decided to go kaput one day before opening night and our quick changes were not fast enough for the director, everyone kept going and was very supportive of each other. I thoroughly enjoyed working crew for And Then There Were None and it is an experience that I shall not soon…

    Also the movie did a great job at demonstrating eternal love. They were able to demonstrate of how the love of Romeo and Juliet was still there even after they died. They comic relief was fantastic and without it, the movie would be a total emotional rollercoaster. The scene that Zefferelly chose did a great job at portraying the emotion even before the actors even came out and did their job. Finally, my favorite aspect of the movie was the on-screen chemistry, it just helped me understand the movie because it just gave that connection between the actions and the lines.…

    The performers have wonderful voices that really amazed me. The way they act and dance is also very fascinating.But as the story was about to end, there are lots of questions in my mind like “How it happened?” and “Why it happened?”. I was so confused because I thought it would be a happy ending, rather it left as a mystery until now. All in all, I enjoyed the play and it was very great. I learned a lot about the legend of Ranaw.…
