MY REVIEW


Well what a confusing show! I found that this is a show that you will either love or hate and I loved it! It was pretty quick and confusing so you had to pay attention but it was definitely entertaining.
Firstly the scenery was very clever and well thought out. The way that they were so swift and subtle at changing and moving the props and scenery around was very good. They had just the right amount of props on the stage so that it was too crowded but also not empty on the stage and the props also fit in with the time zones of the production. They used things such as, tables, chairs, a sofa bed bit, doors, make-up dressing tables with lights and everything that was needed, phones, other costumes etc. The colours that were used for the scenery were good as they weren’t to bold but not too light either, the colours all managed to balance themselves out. My most favourite part of the scenery was when they had fabric that they put up and it made a 3D object out of sheet material for example, one was a room in a castle.
Secondly the costumes were very interesting and intriguing. They were very eye catching and exciting to see. The colours were amazing as they suited the emotions of some of the characters and with others they went well with the scenery colours. The designs of the costumes were very exotic and well suited to the time zones. They were all different but also the same, the women had dresses/skirts or high waisted trousers or shorts and then a crop top or something and character shoes. The men on the other hand wore clothes that suited their characters so one wore army officer uniform, another wore black tie suits and the rest wore baggy shirts, black scruffy trouser and scruffy shoes.
Thirdly the acting was amazing. There were so many emotions that went into the performance; it was truly believable and inspiring to watch. The singing was good; there were a few off notes but apart from them, they did a fantastic job and sang with such confidence and pride. The dancing too was very good; the steps were accurate and strong. The routines were very polished and down to a ‘T’ with no one putting a foot out of place.
Overall I found the performance very exciting, very well coordinated and polished and also very entertaining. The layout and staging was very well set out and thought about and you could see that a lot of hard work and commitment went into this whole performance.
