Sweeney Todd is a brilliant blockbuster that hit ULM. The musical drama contained an abundance of spine-chillers, laughs, and murders. My first intuition that I first experience about Sweeney told was that it would simply be an old-fashioned musical drama with a cluster of individuals spruced up and singing boisterously. Be that as it may, Sweeney Todd genuinely took my intuition and tossed it in the garbage can. Sweeney Todd was superb and of much a delight to watch. The cast made a magnificent showing by showcasing their parts and singing. The nature of the execution at ULM was really Broadway-commendable. The stage nearness of the execution was totally remarkable even between the progressions of scenes. The cast sang and strolled the phase…
As soon as I entered the theatre, it was completely packed. I also saw many people from different age groups; this gave me a feeling that the show would be entertaining enough to get people from all ages to come and see the show. The environment of the theatre was very formal, as there was a red and gold layout and it was also very clean.…

The actors used the props well and easily it seemed because, like as they threw some of the props around they all were able to have control over them. So this means that the props were built light weight for them to be able to have manipulate them more accurately which, is something really smart to do with objects that are going to be tossed around. Furthermore, the snow Styrofoam prop was really clever because it looked like real snow and it was a cheap way to create snow and still make it look spectacular. The sound that was used was on point for example, like when Buddy got the bells and started “ringing” them the sound matched the movements he made with them. Also another great example, was when Santa’s sleigh crashed in the city it was a fabulous job that both sound and lights working together because made the scene more dramatic. As when the next part of a scene would happen, I liked that the music changed according to the mood it was trying to portray. The scene shifts are one of the parts that I enjoyed most because they would do the next scene in a quick pace that you would hardly notice…

The more things change the more they stay the same in Holden Caulfield’s case is wrong. In the story, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield had to go through many changes to become the person he is at the end of the story. The many changes he went through matured him into a man that accepts life. Holden in the story went through many obstacles to survive when he ran away from home. The death of his brother Allie contributed to a personality change. Also, Holden had to deal with some interesting characters including Maurice a pimp.…
The character's placement throughout the performance was perfect. For instance, when Marisol appeared back on stage there were homeless people evenly spread out. Due to the specific settlement of the homeless, Marisol had nowhere to run; everywhere she turned there was an aggressive person near her. That was actually a bit scary because it triggered this sense of being trapped within me, which is not a nice feeling. Also, the exits and entrances of characters were smooth and connected.…
In my opinion, the most successful aspect in this play was the actresses, not just because they were good, but rather because they were incredibly believable. I did not feel that I was watching actors on the stage, rather that I was watching the lives of the six individuals unfold. They became their characters. A perfect example of this can be seen when Sabrina Hyman, who was playing the part of Truvy, was decorating the salon for Christmas and had to improv. While placing tinsel on the couch she was unable to keep it on the desired spot, because it kept falling off of the arm. Initially when she realized that the tinsel was not staying in its place she did not panic, as one would have thought. Instead she simply tried again, and then even a third time without showing any signs of a problem, she had to finally walk away without properly placing the tinsel where it should have been. This quick change in events did not throw her off in the least; she played it off like nothing was wrong. She played it off, as Truvy Jones would have in real life. Although I did feel that the acting in the play was truly amazing I did have two problems, and a couple of instances where I was given a…
The lighting was too dark for the majority of the play and it was difficult at times to see the actor's faces, and I wanted to be able to see their reactions to different lines and events. There were also random spotlights throughout the show that no one was in and I found that this was distracting from the performance. I also found it strange that the spotlights didn't move with the actors, so the actor would be lit for one moment but not in the next. Also, the projections on the screens above the stage were not very helpful or useful and were mostly distracting. I did not find them necessary to understand what was occurring on stage and in the performance. Additionally, the sound quality was not that great either. The microphones were not always working or would change the actor's voice to make it sound farther away. I found myself straining for lines or lyrics that were integral to the plot at different points in the play. The music was very good and so were the actor's voices, but I was not able to hear a lot of the singing and I wish I could…
This was the first play or theatre performance that I have attended. I was unsure of what to expect, but I heard great things about this play. Furthermore, the first aspect of this production that caught my attention was the design of the set. The design gave the feeling of a run down urban neighborhood by making the outer parts of the stage look like an old brick building. The building looked like one you would find in a low-income area or projects. The scenery of the play set the stage for what type of production this would be. I especially liked the way they carefully chose not to place just any kind of props on the stage. The dusty floor, old couch, and the mattress for a bed made the apartment look worn and rundown. This play showed some very realistic designs for the time period and life of some low-income individuals struggling to make a living or hustle. This is especially true when Lincoln pointed out that Booth had no running water and he felt that he was in a third world country. I was impressed by how they were able to make the apartment appear so old and the items in it seem battered. I really thought I was peeking into a real bedroom not just a set. Also, the way the set was designed it makes sure that the individual watching the play is focused on the stage and the characters. There is not a point in the play where my eyes left the stage or the actors.…
When you are first walking into the theatre you see the set and it was put together how you would expect it to look in the mid-nineties. The set was done in an apartment style setting; it had the basic set up but with the addition of a photographer’s dark room along with prints of the work on the wall. On the walls you could see some kind of splattering and it honestly had me wondering if it was part of the play or the material had been reused and not redone. Then you hear the music playing as you walk to your seat. The music selection was rather suspenseful and thrilling it made you really think about what kind of play you were going to experience.…
Drama is a very interesting form of literary work, which can be read as a story and used in stage show performance. When a reader reads and examine a play, they will find that the plot has linear unfolding from scene to scene. Also, there will be various types of characters with different types of personalities and behavior such as the protagonist and antagonist. The play, A StreetCar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, shows characteristics of protagonist and antagonist. This play is about a woman named Blanche DuBois, who moves with her sister, Stella Kowalski, and her husband, Stanley Kowalski, in New Orleans. Blanche's flirtatious behavior causes a lot of problems in Stella and Stanley life. Stanley and Blanche display qualities of antagonists…

Throughout the play the backdrop of the town is always shown until the barbershop is finally in business. Sweeney Todd is getting business and everything seems fine but the audience knows danger is coming.
