Now all of the aforementioned aspects of this show are considered its plot, but its story is very different entirely. The actors, directors, producers, choreographers, musicians, designers and so many more worked for months and moths to create the best show they could, but once it hit the Broadway stage, their dreams came crashing down. They were immediately given
Explain how one or more performer(s) used naturalistic acting skills to engage the audience at particular moments in one live production that you have seen and assess their success I saw 'An Inspector Calls' at the Bolton Octagon on September 25th 2013. The play, set in 1912, attempts to reinforce the ideology that we are all responsible for each other. It's form was in the round, and it was presented in a naturalistic style. It takes place in the home of the relatively newly wealthy Birling family, on the night of the celebration of their daughter's engagement, when a mysterious inspector arrives to question the family on their involvement of a young girl, Eva Smith's death.

Everything was good and unforgettable. The theater is fancy, and the staff is pleasant and treated us great. The actors are amazing. In class, the professor spoke to us about actors having different roles in a play, but I never imagined that a whole play that required so many characters could have been perfectly done with only four. “The 39 Steps”, is a special kind of Broadway show.

“The greater sin is not in being declared Wicked, but in accepting appearances of Goodness.” The Broadway Musical by Stephan Schwartz, Wicked, is a magnificent story with outstanding morals and lessons. I have had the honor of seeing this musical many times in several cities in the past five years that it has been released. This performance has given it’s audiences a new outlook on prejudice and that you can never judge a book by it’s cover. Nearly everyone has seen Frank Baum’s classic, The Wizard of Oz, at some time in his or her life. If they haven’t seen it they have surely heard the story that it holds.
