Tuesday Night Audience Review Essay

Improved Essays
A Tuesday night audience with the enthusiasm of a Saturday show. That was what one of the characters said at the sage door. As a performer, I know how you can feed off the audience and get more pumped up when they get pumped up. The audience of this show was very responsive and interested. When the characters almost kissed, there were little squeals and giggles. When jokes were told, the audience busted up. You could tell that the audience was interest in the production because how they were all sitting on the edges of their seats in anticipation of what was going to come next. There was one scene where two characters were reconnecting and they were in love. When they finally kissed at the end of the song, the crowd was cheering because we …show more content…
Anya was so beautiful and talented and I could feel her pain and her happiness. It was truly breathtaking seeing this show. I heard other sniffles around the theatre so I know I wasn’t the only one who was moved by her performance. The audience was really in tune with the characters and could relate to them in such a real way the our reactions were just as genuine as the actors story. Everything that the characters said, the audience reacted to. We were able to recognize the villain but we were also able to see that he was a good person on the inside who would stand up for what he believed in and would not kill Anaya even though his order told him to hell her and finish his fathers business. We, as an audience, were able to connect with such strong and thoughtful characters. The reason we loved it so much was because they were real and were so well written and well casted. The applause was well deserved and we were happy to give it to them. The applause was very joyous because we were very excited and happy about what we just saw. During the intermission I had to go to the bathroom. The line was unbearably long but while I was standing in line i heard great discussion about the

    The audience had a genuine laughter from jokes and puns made on stage, cheer and clap at musical performances, which resulted in gleeful reactions to the play and after speaking to others who have also seen the play, many audience members were impressed. Peter and the Starcatcher was appealing, inspiring and adventurous, which left people coming back and seeing the show many times. I would recommend the play to people of all ages and would appeal to anyone who enjoys a fun and light-hearted play that would like a good laugh. I constantly found myself smiling on several occasions throughout the play and had me wanting more. Overall, I greatly enjoyed the play, and would say it’s 4 stars out of…

    Musicking The Now Analysis

    On the surface, one might not think that the great Italian opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and the acclaimed indie group Dinosaur Jr. have much in common. One concert, for instance, took place in an intimate performing arts center to an attentive and quietly reverent audience while the other in a loud, rough-and-tumble rock venue to a lively and informal audience. Indeed, there may appear to be no similarities between the effortlessly skilled classical stylings of the UNT College of Music and the deliberately ramshackle indie sound of Dinosaur Jr. However, with these two concerts, we see Christopher Small’s concept of “musicking” in full effect and, critically, two different forms of the same musical elitism.…

    “Chicago,” I said, as we drove past the Chicago Theatre. I read every word that my eyes could catch as we sped down the attractive streets of downtown Chicago. I was not sure where my driver was taking me, but I knew that I did not want to be in the car with this mean old woman anymore. She was my new caseworker, Ms. Jordan, and she was in charge of finding me a family. My old caseworker was Ms. Kelly, she was nice and she always made me feel loved.…

    During World War II, the Nazi Germany was coming at full force attacking the countries that Britain, along with other allies as well, were defending.

    There was no life, energy or enthusiasm portrayed by most of the actors, the plot was all over the place, and everyone and everything was out of sync and off-key. This production was definitely not the best, but even though it was pretty terrible to sit through and watch, the audience was very supportive to their kids that were part of this production and the little kids that attended the show loved it. The older people that were there did not enjoy it at all, they were constantly shifting in their seats, and even a few walked out because they were so bored with the show. I was not impressed at all and I do not blame you if you don’t want to go waste $15 on this show, because it’s not worth your time or…

    In an episode of Theater Talk, Michael Riedel and Susan Haskins invited actors, Viola Davis and Stephen McKinley, and their director, Kenny Leon, to discuss their revival of Fences by August Wilson. Wilson had passed away prior to the revival, but each of the guests had their own experiences with Wilson before hand. On the show they shared their interpretations of the emotion and power Wilson put into the script. Viola Davis mentions the discomfort that August Wilson writes with because it's “honest.” She essentially says that the actors have to make a choice to put in the full effort of expressing the raw nature of Wilson's work.…

    I chose to do Angels in America because I had heard of it before, and as I was searching through the Tony Award’s for the Best Play’s, looking for something impressive to perform, I saw a familiar name and decided I would give it a go. Originally I wanted to do a piece by Prior, but as I read the play I liked the idea of trying out Roy’s character more, so I changed it. My goal was to capture what I imagine was Tony Kushner’s idea of the character and portray him correctly, and also to determine whether I could play a confronting, very stubborn man such as Roy. I did some research on Roy’s character and found he was based off the actual Roy Cohn an American Attorney, well known for his prominent role in The Rosenberg Trials.…

    The actors had a lot of energy that undoubtedly captured the viewer’s attention. Each actor had a certain characteristic that made him or her truly fascinating to watch. They were able to interact with each and every audience member. This left me, a viewer, who was in the middle of the room, feeling as though I was in the play. The plays story may have been their biggest obstacle, however.…

    The formation of dance has lived on this world for many generations as we continue to pass through history. When I went to the wonderful performance at Pierce College I experienced a whole new perspective on dancing. The concert had many types of students performing mixed dance projects of all types like solos and duets. There was an average size of one to eight dancers per project which made it the ideal size for the concert. I really enjoyed the creativity and effort put into this performance.…
