Musical theatre for children - half way through!



Here are the films of you performing your draft musicals. You need to watch your own musical and then post a comment. Make some SWOT comments that help you to identify real areas of strength and places where improvements can be made. What does it feel like to watch yourself? You may have to watch it more than once in order to get over your embarrassment and giggles and make objective comments about your own work.

I think it was a really good play bcuz we were loud and clear. I also liked how we acted and our facial expressions. I found the music really effective and the dance we made actually enhanced the play!
I think we need to improve on some areas. For example balancing the vocals and the piano would be a good area to improve. We can also try and act more in character (e.g the nanny can try and act more serious, the cook can be more "italiano" style) I think that by improving these weak areas, we can succeed. :)

I find this play just magnificent. For little time we had so far to work, we have done a nice job. The music in the play was really good and it was meaningful and had an impact on the play. There are few things we can improve. I think that gathering props is the main thing we have to improve at. We have to gather all our props and use them in our practice. Also i think we have to improve in being more into preforming like more professionals than just students.

In my view of point, my pronounciation and speed was quite fast and i did not leave a time for audience to compare water gun and real gun. This was my own improvement. As a whole group, i think everyone did really well, however sometimes we did not realize that we were not facing to the audience. Moreover, i think we need to lengthen our performance time, because it was quite short compared to other group's performance. It was really bad that two of our group members were not able to attend the class and show to the audience their great parts. To sum up all my points, i think if we improve on our personal weaknesses and other factors such as facing to the audience and extending the time, our group will be able to perform the best parady to the original performance.

our play appears to be overall pretty good because it flows, has a pretty long length made up of scenes to get the point out and let the audience understand the characters well. we did at one point in the past week decide to make all these new dances which i can tell made it all the more interesting to watch and fun to perform. i really like the idea of having ali play live, onstage so that i can be near him and help everyone figure out when to start either playing music, or singing, or even dancing. i think making our characters more realistic, though, such as making the cook "italiano" as meggi says, making nanny a more adult figure, and the bellboy more talkative would probably make eloise's character and everyone elses more understandable. our props will also be beneficial and necessary to give the audience an even better understanding of what is going on.

I think that our strength is that we make a very good at making a comedy play. We have also worked with our blocking, but we still need to improve on it. We need to speak more slower and a little bit louder so that theaudience can understand what we are saying and so that they may have some time to figure out what we are doing.

Watching my self made me gigle a few times but it didnt embarass me alot. i had to watch it a couple of times to make me stop gigling.

The first prformance i saw was very good.
It was interesting and funny. It was good
because in this play, a good idea has been
used and the character performed without
mistakes. I think that it should contain more
sound effects and have more props. I and my
group have done a good job and we are aiming
to improve several areas of the play. Such as
the rap used in the play and the prop list.

I think our play is really coming through, though there is of course some errors that need to be corrected, including line revision as well as blocking. Though we still have time to rehearse so we can work on the problems that we are facing.

I think this was a good performance but when I say "he's the bad guy i need to speak up alot more. We need props and the performance was really fuuny.

Since i wasnt here, they had to cut out some parts. I think for the next step we should organaize it a bit more, as in we should work out the space of the whole play. We should also talk more clear and not as fast. We could also improve by making another 2 scences that we have planned, so that we can make it longer. iwe should be able to look to audience more, to make it look better. but overal i think we all have improved since we first did it.
