A Jazz Dream

HiHi!!

The UNT Department of Dance of Theatre

put on another musical this semester!

I think concept was great,

having Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

in a musical setting; however,

this show has a long way to go before it can reach the big stage.

The show was supposed to be based out of modern day New York City,

and yet that was not very apparent.

The costuming was fantastic and beautiful, 

they played very well with the story,

but again, did not seem very "Modern New York."

After the costumes, the setting may have been my favorite aspect:

there were clear baubles hanging from the ceiling during the ball,

a large pyramid during the final performance,

and a magic-like forest for the fairies.

The lights were also great fun to watch throughout the play's progression.

Cast and Crew

Aside from the technical aspect,

The actors were fabulous!

And that's saying something, since it is Shakespeare.

They all had the language down,

and the singing was good.

Even though I did have some issues with the songs...

But again, this show has a long way till Broadway!

All-in-all,

the show was fun,

but not perfect.

Then again,

no show ever is!

But "A Jazz Dream" has promise,

and you just never know now-a-days.

Till Next Time: 

Remember to KEEP IT GENKI!!
