Shapes + Reflections was held at the Mira Costa Theater from Nov 30- Dec 2. The theater is contemporary and offers great views from all 243 seats. This performance attracted an array of guests, from seniors, adults, teens, and kids, who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show. This show was very eclectic and showcased multiples styles of dance. “” was a really fun opening dance, it was full of inspiration and energy and got people interested and hooked to the show.
Grease, a musical set in 1959 about rebellious teenagers and their tackling of rather trivial social issues, is a musical that has become and remained extremely popular since its release in the broadhurst theater in 1979. Some people ask, "what is this musicals appeal to people? Why is it so popular?". Well, there are several reasons. This is a musical where all the trials are trivial and less than life threatening, putting you in a place where you have only the most meager of worries , such as who will take you to prom, and how will you snag that handsome boy who just doesn’t seem to notice you.
This one in particular was my favorite because of the catchy tune and the lyrical significance. I found the satirical overtone of the whole tune to really signify the problems in the past and often current society. As well, the song was one of those melodies that sticks in your head all day, but not the annoying kind. This kept the tune ‘catchy’ and helped the audience effectively pay attention to the message. The song talks about how the actors have hit it big time on Broadway with their performance of “Pretty Lady”.
'39 steps' evaluation The 39 steps was written in 1915 by the author John Buchan. The original book was a big hit within the world and therefore was adapted into a movie production and a live theatre piece, which I was lucky enough to be able to go and see. The play was cleverly crafted by Patrick Barlow who managed to create this book into the hysterical play it is. Within this I will be talking about how the variety of production elements all blended into one hilarious play. Within the first scene we see Richard Haney (Ben Righton) in his very tradition and stereotypical London based home.
20. Nonna’s secret is that Christina’s father is actually Marcus Sanford, at this point in the movie; all the secrets have been told. 21. “National Wog Day” at the end of the movie is more upbeat and different because Josie is happy and invites Jacob and her friends to attend with her; this shows that she has embraced her culture. When she puts on the music and starts dancing, it shows she is happy.
The melody, the harmony, the crescendo, and decrescendo were perfectly played. It moved me so much I practically jumped out of my seat at the end to give a standing ovation. I came home and looked on the internet for other performances of this act. I must say I found one on YouTube with two 18 year olds and a 15 year old. That was an excellent performance as well; I think I’m hooked on this
My favorite characters were the dynamic duo, Cogsworth and Lumiere. Whenever either one of them or both of them waltzed onto the stage, I knew there would be laughter rippling through the audience. Another hilarious character was Lefou. The actor played a convincing role as Gaston’s henchman and doesn’t mind getting beat up a couple of times. The voices of the main characters, Belle and the Beast were amazing!
The dynamics were very forte because the vocalist, Vic Fuentes has a very strong and passionate voice that electrifies and brings to life every lyric. The tempo was allegro, as I said it was very fast paced and made you want to dance. The instrumentation was fabulous, the musicians, Jaime Preciado: Bass, Tony Perry: Guitar, and Mike Fuentes: Drums (who is my idol because I play the drums as well) are by far the best musicians I’ve ever heard in a post hardcore band. They take their music seriously, while also having fun and never losing their unique sound. “Yeah Boy and Doll Face” As they played this very beautiful and romantic song, they pulled up a girl from the crowd and Vic sang it to her.
William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream The stage production of William Arden Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by a British director Tim Supple was one in a million-that everyone talked about it and questions rode questions, on how the performance went. ‘It is the best production I have ever seen. What grapples me most, is the cast, ravaging with a rich choreography’, this was said by the British Ambassador to India in a chat with Times of India. The almighty dramatist play was sponsored for production by the British Council, India. Staged at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, on Rajendra Prasad Road, New Delhi, on the 3 of March, the old, but became-new play was performed by what Mr. Supple described as ‘an all Indian and Sri Lankan cast’, spoken in many languages, from English to Hindi and Bengali.

From roughly 1594 onward he was an important member of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men company of theatrical players. Written records give little indication of the way in which Shakespeare’s professional life molded his artistry. All that can be deduced is that over the course of 20 years, Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict.
