The Reflection Of Music

Improved Essays
In this musical it is safe to say that there are many types of tones throughout the show. For example, two types of tones we discussed in class were formal and informal. Although, many might suggest that these two types were the central part of this musical, I slightly disagree. To me and I’m sure many others, the students created this very playful environment while they were acting and singing. In this case the most important or strongest type of tone in this musical would be playfulness.
The students showed this tone through their manners as they were acting, which was not in the script originally. Such as, there was a character acting as a UPS man making a delivery to one of the main female characters, and instead of just handing it to

The main character was largely a protagonist. A large portion of the play was about a breakup, entering Harvard University and finding new love again. But just through the view of her eyes, and experiences. As the poem goes on the audience feels as though each of her decisions she made herself and not because of her ex- boyfriend. Which shows that the musical revolved around her and no one else that much. An example of this is when the main character, she is walking and blowing boys kisses as well as flipping her hair because she knows that everyone is basically drooling for her. Which is what a protagonist is all about, …show more content…
Which was important in many minds as friends, and others were there, because it showed that nothing worth wanting comes easy. As far as reoccurring the director did an outstanding job, because towards the end of the play, many felt moved or more motivated than before they had watched the play. Even though some obstacles may be different for others and not as easily relatable, the director showed that hard work, in life weather it is through acting or in general may will overcome their problems and persevere. Which was amazing that the director was able to fit all of those reoccurring themes into this dramatic, yet playful

    Many different themes reoccur through the play, three of which are; trust, belief and being your self. Examples of these can be found within each of the main characters and are shown in many different ways. The idea of trust and learning to trust is one of the bigger themes to Footloose. We see each of the main characters struggling with trust at some point in the story line until they eventually do trust one another and themselves.…

    This play was one of the longest plays I had ever sat in on, but it didn’t feel like it. The characters and the story kept making me want more. It was that good! This play, however, did provide more than just entertainment. It provided a sense of wonder, wonder about the lives of the characters, what they felt, what they thought, and what they did.…

    The comical personalities all the characters had helped the audience become more intrigued in the story of this play. From this play, I liked that there was only one actor for each character. It made it easier to understand which character was which. The actors had different costumes, which made it easier to apprehend who was…

    The slang of the cast adds a nice touch to make the audience really feel as if it were the 50s. Also, while singing, the cast adds this type of tone to their voice that makes it seem very retro. Today auto tune is used, however, the characters changed their voices to make the songs sound more 50s. The last lens is that everything is stereotyped and very fictional. The audience obviously should not believe what happens in the musical can happen in real life.…

    A main character, or protagonist, has been defined as having the most importance to the storyline and also does the most to support it. I think that Elizabeth Proctor in the Crucible is a protagonist. Elizabeth Proctor is a mother of two and husband to John Proctor. She is shown as being a proud, stubborn woman with a vindictive streak - this is shown in her reaction to the affair between her husband and their previous house servant, Abigail. She refuses to forgive John, despite his efforts and has trouble letting go of her anger.…

    Angels in America: Millennium Approaches exhibited a dynamic performance at Round House Theatre in Bethesda. The deep character development, plots, themes, and spectacles meshed together to create a theatrical experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. To begin, Angels in America had multiple messages throughout the show due to the different conflicts that existed amongst characters. One main theme and message that I felt was to stay true to yourself and always be who you really are. I feel this is a central theme because it pertains to many different characters, whether it be Prior, Louis, Joe, Harper, or Roy, and also pertains to different themes within the play, such as sexuality and visions for the future.…

    Within the 1920s, musical comedy in America gained influence worldwide. Broadway saw the composing debuts of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, as well as various others. This decade was focused on spectacle and entertainment, all smiles all the time (unless more comedic otherwise). The plays of the time were not focused on depth of characters, but excitement and fun. However, the 1920’s did see the rise of a book musical, a show that involved a strong plot through music and lines.…

    Intricate details on the scenery made the buildings feel authentic and inviting, grabbing my attention from the moment I walked in the theatre. The costuming was also fantastic, portraying the time period well and adding even more authenticity to the production. All of these individual aspects of a play production acted as an important role, but none of them caught my attention as much as the storyline. I was entwined in the story from the moment the stage lights came on, engulfing myself in the man-made atmosphere presented in front of me. The story went on to tell a tale of a greedy…
