Week #8 - Theatre Arts

Posted: May 24, 2020

Hey everyone!  Hard to believe we are entering week 8 of our home learning.  Hopefully you are all doing well and are starting to see a bit more freedom now that some restrictions have been lifted.  Remember though, we still need to be diligent so that we don't see a resurgence of the virus.

This week, I thought that I would challenge you to watch a full broadway musical.  I searched online a bit and found all kinds of them on You Tube.  Simply search "Full Broadway Musicals" on You Tube and pick one that looks interesting.  Once you have watched one, write about your thoughts.  What did you think of the show?  What about the characters?  Was there one that stood out, or were they all equally good?  What did you like about it?  What would you change?  What about the story line, was it easy to follow?  Did the performers portray the story well?  

I have been to New York a few times now and have seen several Broadway shows.  I have also been to Toronto many times and saw some Broadway worthy shows there as well.  Although these shows will be good online, it does not compare to live theatre, so if you ever get the chance to go to a live professional show, go!  You will not be disappointed.

Have a great week everyone!
