To my surprise‚ ’Grease’ and ’The Outsiders’ do have some very similar characteristics. Even though the genres are different‚ they have similar themes. Not surprisingly‚ sound and lighting had almost no similarities. However; camerawork is very similar at various points of the two films. ’Grease’ and ’The Outsiders’ are very similar in numerous ways: Both movies involve gangs‚ the struggle to fit in and peer-group pressure. Alcohol also plays a major part in both movies. In ’Grease’ for example‚ the

When this is successful then the actors are matched to parts‚ screenplay written‚ dances choreographed‚ songs and music written‚ settings and props sourced along with technical and support crews. Grease‚ initially being a Broadway musical written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey‚ had to be adapted for film; while half of the original songs were used‚ others became background music and more were written specifically for the film (Callahan‚ 2016).

Grease is a 1950’s set performance that was re interpreted into a show at North Lincoln High School on March 18th‚ 2017. Presently directed by Aubrey Bridges and Stage managed by Emily Walker‚ it stuck to the original scenes of the play and executed them brilliantly. This show contributed to the on-the-go energetic lifestyle that teenagers still have today‚ intermixing the 50’s issues that high schoolers still experience today. Starting the show off with the rock and roll music‚ Grease is a fun musical

important aspect of the community. This is exactly what happened in the hit musical‚ Hairspray. I was able to attend this amazing musical at Washington Lee High School on April 25‚ 2015. Directed by Keith Cassidy‚ outstanding performers showed off their collaboration and effort‚ transporting the audience to Baltimore in 1962. Through acts of violence‚ progression in the fight towards equality‚ and some ridiculous hair‚ Hairspray was able to speak to audiences both of the 1960’s and of the decades beyond that

Title of the play I went to see on April 21‚ 2017 is Grease. The theatre I had saw it in was at C.A Theatre and the company was Tarrant County Southeast Campus. The playwright of the play was by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and the director of Grease is Steven D. Morris. My pre-show experience the first thing I saw was a person’s head‚ which I believe it‚ was the composer‚ which was cool because of how he rather stays hidden. In addition‚ I like how they had the curtains down with the title in bold

On April 7th‚ 2016‚ I attended Lakeland College’s musical‚ "Hairspray!” Overall I thought it was a great performance. It was my first time seeing this musical in particular. There were many things that made the performance spectacular including: the outfits‚ the setting‚ and the actors singing voices. There were also a few things that made the play worse than it could have been and it was mostly the technical difficulties. In the beginning of the play all of the lights were out and the spotlight

Grease Lake Lessons There comes a time in many kids life where they want to be bad. They don’t want to be bad to get in trouble and face consequences. They want to be bad because it appears cool. The cool kids sat in the back of class and talked while the teacher was teaching. The cool kids went to parties where there was underage drinking and drugs. The cool kids walked around wearing cool clothes and sunglasses as if they answered to no one and had no care in the world. The cool kids acted

Segregation‚ intolerance‚ and prejudice are all tackled in Vincennes University’s fall musical Hairspray. While both celebrating and critiquing aspects of American culture in the 1960’s‚ the overall message is the beauty of acceptance and freedom. Despite a few minor weaknesses‚ likely due to limitations on time and resources‚ the play was very impressive and a definite success. Generally‚ the acting was superb. However‚ Amber’s lines seemed tremendously loud and exaggerated compared to the rest

In the texts‚ of To kill a mockingbird‚ The Hurricane and Hairspray‚ the themes of race‚ injustice/justice and friendship are shown. Tales of conviction of blacks or any race of that kind are seen throughout life. With strong friendship embraced when supporting convicted innocent people. It makes you wonder‚ if all these characters have been found innocent‚ how many other people have been charged for a crime that they didn’t commit? Starting off with race‚ this theme is thoroughly seen as the

Grease (1978) music: Leonard Bernstein I think the effectiveness of a musical film in comparison to a film score in a non-musical largely depends on the target audience of the film‚ genre of film‚ and plot of the film. In musical films like Grease‚ Chicago‚ Les Miserables‚ West Side Story‚ and Mama Mia‚ the musical and choreographed aspects of film work with the plot in an effective manner. I feel like [romantic] comedies (eg. Mama Mia and Grease) and dramas (eg. Les Miserables and Chicago) are
