The Drowsy Chaperone Research Paper

288 Words2 Pages

On April 28th-30th, I was in Sartell High School’s production of The Drowsy Chaperone. This show is about a man who is feeling “blue” and decides to play one of his favorite musicals The Drowsy Chaperone. The show starts up with the characters introducing themselves, but trouble arises when a producer is in trouble with two gangsters because his leading lady is leaving the stage for marriage. Although the wedding is called off when the groom kisses “another woman” which was actually his fiancé. Eventually things really work out and there are four weddings in the end, including the original bride and groom.

Now I am biased because for one I was in this show, and two because I really love the show. However, as a cast I think we did very well in the aspects of theater. First off, our acting was over the top as it should be because the show its self is over the top. Now obviously singing sounds different to the audience, but from where I was I thought we sounded really good. Also, even though I would say at first our dancing was one of our weaker aspects (At least for myself) I think we really did overcome the challenge. …show more content…

At the beginning of this show many of us weren’t comfortable being as over the top as we were, but once we stepped out side of our comfort zones we completed the task at hand. So as I continue to sing in Sartell Choirs and any choir, I want to continue to step out side of my comfort

    From the initial reaction to the announcement, everyone seemed excited as can be. Three long, hard months of work all come down to just five shows, each two hours long. To have these musicals there is a lot of work to be done in a little amount of time. At Kings Junior High every performer is not only required to be at all of their rehearsal times, but have private one on one singing coaching, and donating some of their time to the building of the set. For a show to have a good outcome, every single person must be putting in a lot of time and effort, not just as rehearsals but at home also.

    On March 16 I saw The Wedding Singer at Lawrenceville High School. Overall the Performing Arts Department did a good job with the resources they were given. The students were able to bring the characters of 70’s adults to the stage for most of the time and the costumes helped project those characters even more. Sadly the singing was only semi-decent and after intermission the amount of energy on stage went downhill fast and by the final celebratory number it was clear the majority of the actors were simply reciting lyrics and doing dance moves instead of enjoying what they were doing.

    The cast members seemed like they were part of the production themselves, which gave the audience a lifelike impression from them. Throughout the play I did not notice any obvious flaws that the cast members exhibited, which was really professional in my opinion and as a result, made the production more appealing to the audience. There was also breaking of the fourth wall, as demonstrated by Igor, where she asked one of the audience members if they have found a missing brain. During the Finale Ultimo, is where the cast members really broke the fourth wall, as they did a talent show with the main members of the cast, which involved the audience clapping at the end of each talent performed. It was during this scene where the main cast members brought out their tap dancing abilities, which was well received with a standing ovation at the end of the

Show choir incorporates training under professional choreographers, undergoing numerous voice lessons, and traveling the country for competitions. This self-disciplinary activity pushes me to work hard and strive for perfectionism while taking leadership roles in a professional environment. Furthermore, show choir allows me to impact others through my performance and to take risks.

    “The Play That Goes Wrong” required a very detailed strategic plan of the arranged props and set design that actors need to follow in their performance. I believe the performers did a marvelous job in following the detailed choreography of the show. One of the most memorable cast members was Nancy Zamit. She played Annie the stage manager, who took the spotlight when she was forced into playing Charles’ fiancée named Sandra because the original female lead got "knocked unconscious” in the middle of the play. As terribly shy as she was, Zamit intensified the enjoyment of the audience as her character was reading off lines from pages of the script very awkwardly and awfully in an unfitted red dress and wig.
