Plays are gay

So tonight I saw the play, "Master Class" which is based on Maria Callas and her legendary master classes. It was quite phenomenal, but depressing because, well, her life kinda sucked. There was some great acting and some very... um... characterful singing. Anyone see anything good at the theater lately?

    I saw the abridged version of Shakespeare a while ago.

    They did a pretty good job of it.

    That'd be interesting to see how they could pull something like that off.

    It was really awful
    Maybe it was funnier live
    But what I saw, terrible

    The singing was good and people played their parts well. Sophie Whatsherface (the first student) had some awful vowels, but she fit the part really well.

    I have the lead male role in the play Radium Girls right now. It's surprisingly well-written for a contemporary play that no one has ever heard of. All about the radium-paint scandal of the 20s.

    Acting, dudes, its what I do.

    dogg, the version of les miz i saw was a high school production and it was fan-fucking-tastic

    of course, all of the actors in the production were also part of a theatre troupe, it was like a partnership thing

    but holy hell, it was great

    e: and i played Jacob in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

    it was a fun musical

    like I saw charlie and the chocolate factory

    it was okay and I got a wonka bar out of it

    but they shoved musical numbers into it from the movie and they definitely weren't supposed to be there

    It wasn't amazing or anything.

    But they did a good job, and it was pretty funny.

    They managed to wrangle a bunch of the audience and they did a really good job in getting the audience laughing.

    I went with a bunch of friends and we had a blast.

    The play itself was meh.

    Last year I did chorus work in L'enfants et les sortileges by Ravel and it was awesome. I'll probably do some more chorus work this year too but next year I'm sure I'll have some role of significance. Wooo.

    Oh another really good play is Bach at Leipzig. It's basically about how this young nobody named Bach came in and got this amazing job at the big cathedral in Leipzig in a huge upset. The whole first half of the play is based off of a six-voice fugue. Oh, and they really milk the fact that almost all the big composers at that time were named either Johann or Georg.

    Awesome. Most of my Opera work has been character roles, so I'm excited to get a chance to do chorus work with a bigger company in the spring.

    Nah, but they did have a working chocolate river pipe thing for Augustus to get sucked up into.

    And when the school did Wizard of Oz they had some of the original Munchkins come into town

    It was basically the most extravagant thing my high school has ever done

    Ahh... well... see, I am in University for music (voice) and we do have an Opera class. The class is supposed to just be for third years, but I volunteered last year because, well, I'm a guy and they need guys.
