As a musical that is created based on a blockbuster, the basic story framework is without novelty – an ugly but kind-hearted ogre experiences lots of dangers with a friend, saves the princess like a hero and wins her heart in the end. However, I have to admit that Shrek the Musical does a fantastic job to convert a movie into a Broadway show, considering the high level of complexity and difficulty for a team to humanize animated characters and imitate scenes. There are a lot of details, including Pinocchio’s growing nose, in the musical that show off the elaboration. Undoubtedly, the scenery is one of the brightest spot in this musical.

INTRODUCTION: The 2017 dramatic comedy theatre performance Constellations by Nick Payne follows the lives of Roland and Marianne through the span of many different alternate realities each being slightly different from one another. This play is very good at its job effectively engaging a contemporary audience. This performance entices the audience with its unique and effective story telling style. The director Kat Henry uses the dramatic conventions of heightened realism, absurdism and post modernism, in combination with many dramatic elements such as time and space to create an interesting outcome that really leaves the audience wanting more information to peace the puzzle together.
To say Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is a masterpiece would simply be an understatement. With high praise from nearly all readers of this novel, and encouraged the start of its own Broadway Run on August 6, 2015, it is no surprise this biography catches the eye of many. Not to be confused with the play rendition of this book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Despite this book being “cringey” at times due to the documentation of Hamilton’s hot headed behaviors, it’s interesting to see how Hamilton created so much for our country, but yet seems to always be behind the spotlight. This is especially shown when Hamilton assisted George Washington in nearly everything he did, and was his “right hand man”, for lack of a better term.
Known as one of the most renowned writers of all time, Shakespeare told the universal truth. Emotions are not something that changes over any amount of time. Some emotions like love, hate, revenge, and envy, are key players in most of Shakespeare's plays. Romeo and Juliet was such a successful play that many other movies have imitated the plot such as the very successful "West Side Story". Even though 400 years has past and the world has changed drastically, the emotions and feelings in the play Romeo and Juliet have withstood the test of time.
One of the several themes that Priestley has introduced to the play is ‘Time,’ and this theme not only interlinks with some others like ‘Age and Youth’ and ‘Social Responsibility,’ but also introduces a very important drama technique into the play for the audience called the dramatic irony. In Act One, Mr. Birling, as a representative of the older generation of the play and the head of the family, is talking to the others about the progress humanity is making and mentions the liner, Titanic saying it is “unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable.” The word ‘absolutely’ in this context shows just how confident in his words Mr. Birling is, without understanding that it will all change. As the play is set back in 1912, but is performed much later in 1946, after the audience knows, and finds it ironic that Mr. Birling, thinking he is an old, wise man says such nonsense, as time will show.
The exceptional portrayals of Don Vito and Michael Corleone respectively by Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, the performances by Robert Duvall, James Caan and Diane Keaton as Tom Hagen, Santino Corleone and Kay Adams, the ruthless Virgil Sollozzo played by Al Lettieri -- as well as more
The melodies in The Magic Flute always linger on hours after I have listened to them. What is more, the conductor of the version I listened to, Riccardo Muti and the Wiener Philharmoniker excellently executed performance of this beautiful,masterful work. Lastly, The Magic Flute contains one of my favourite arias ever written because of how dramatic it is but more importantly how technically demanding it is and it is none other than the famous Queen of the Night aria (translated to English), ‘Hell’s Vengeance Boils In My Heart’ and specifically the version sung by Edita
Modern Family is a hilarious sitcom that depicts the diversity of today’s American family and is one of the highest rated comedy shows on TV. The show, which is produced by ABC was a success from the first season with over seven million viewers and grew to more than fourteen million views by season three. The shows underlying message, that there is more than just one kind of family and that we are all crazy is done with a kind humor that is a refreshing change from the modern reality TV we now see on most nights. The comedy combined with diversity and great acting makes this show attracting to a broad range of viewers and proves that everyone loves a good laugh. One reason Modern Family has been a continued success over the years is their dedication to what the show was made to be, a comedy.

As an ensemble, we were all part of the set building of Rent, which took place prior to show-week. It was vital that as a team, we all contributed to the process as I feel as though this enabled us to truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating an incredible set. Additionally, Rent is all things bohemian and I truly believe that we captured this through the towers, bridge, ladders and added set which we incorporated to the build. As a cast, it was an amazing experience to be able to share my director Pauls vision, after 7 weeks of rehearsal in classrooms. I found that being in the space created “the canvas on which the technical elements give the play mood, color, feeling, texture, environment and movement” (Fazio, 2000, pg. 14).
At its core, Much Ado About Nothing is an outstanding play, and one of my personal favorites. Seeing it on both the stage and screen helped me formulate this review, and helped me decide that the choices the production team made were indeed successful. Of the actors chosen, most understood their character, and of the design elements chosen, most added to the story rather than subtracted. In the spirit of the play, I would rate this work 13 out of 15 OSFs, short for Oregon Shakespeare Festival (which is where I first saw this play performed), because no tribute to Shakespeare would be complete without the mention of this
