To be honest, I really was not expecting the play to be that interesting or great at all. I sat towards the back of the chapel and was there only because it was apart of the assignment. As the play went on I became more and more intrigued and after the intermission I changed seats to get closer to the stage. Once I was in my new seat it seemed that I was now watching the play in High Definition; I could see facial expressions and notice details of the actors. In my new seat I was captivated by the play and story line.
There were so many elements that I really interested me about the play. The element that really drew me in was the elaborate costumes and stage. The vibrant colors and interesting stage design was so amazing to me, at one point I sat kind of awe struck by all that was taking place on the stage. Another element that I loved was the variety within the play. I personally felt that I could not possibly become bored with the play, because the play held my attention with many aspects. The characters carried the play with their dialogue and actions, but I also loved the random interjection of song and dance within the play, it was comical and artistic. I also loved the interesting character/girls who were invisible to the story line but obvious to the audience. The only down fall of the invisible character/girls or "dancers" (according to the bulletin) was at times they could be a little distracting to the story line, but I do believe they definitely added to the play by keeping my interest and attention with their comical expressions and actions.
I have seen quite a few plays performed by the theatre department here, but this one stands out as my complete favorite.
Overall I loved the play and if I would've had extra money I would have went and saw it twice, but I didn't so I will just have to enjoy the mental images that I captured from the play on Friday night. I believe the play was well worth the seven dollars I payed and a great experience I will not forget anytime soon.
