Theme Of Batbuy The Musical
BatBoy the Musical by Keythe Farley and Brian Fleming was very strange. I can't decide if I liked it's storyline. It was about a boy who is half human, half bat, which had been chronicled in Weekly World News and had been discovered in the West Virginia Hills. He had been brought to the town of Hope Falls, which brought fear and intrigue to the folks of the town. The Sheriff thought that it was only Dr. Parker who would know what to do with him, so he brought him to the Parker Family. The Parkers accepted him as a member of their family and taught to him act like a human. Later on, when he finally learned how to act like a normal boy, he tried to fit in with the town people, but they blame him for everything that’s happening in their town, …show more content…
Hypocrisy for Doctor Parker, who turned from being accepting towards Edgar to plotting many things to make the town people to despise him. Acceptance from the Parker Family and the racism of town people to Edgar. The love gone wrong that happens between Shelly and Edgar. The relationship between Shelly and Edgar wasn't out of place, I feel like it was the cause and effect of a lot of things that happened in the play. For example, even if Edgar had been showered with love and helped by the Parker Family, they made him feel like what they were doing was charity. Shelly was made to think that it was alright to fall in love with Edgar, since he was already accepted into the family, no matter what or who he was. Their relationship was also one of the reasons why Meredith had to reveal the secret. Their relationship was just right to be in the play, so as to serve as a conflict. Ashamed of the revelation of Dr. Parker’s betrayal and Meredith’s deceit, Edgar pledges to kill the pair of them and embrace his inner …show more content…
I wonder what the audition process was like and how he got that role. He was the perfect fit and did justice to the character of Batboy. There was one scene that grabbed my attention, touched my heart and almost made me cry. It was Act 1 Scene 3, when Meredith sang "A Home For You". From that moment, I had a feeling that she had some special connection with Batboy. The reason I got caught up with this scene was because Aubrie Alexander did a really great job of showing motherly love. She was the perfect image of a woman from a town too. She looked

    Although Claire was the main character, the actor who played Millet had the best acting on stage. They way he switch between the two personality was amazing and hilarious. He portrayed the character really well and had me believing for a bit that he actually had a dual personality. His entrance on to the stage in every scene was perfect, every time he can on he was really enthusiastic and his enthusiasm did not fluctuate too much in the play, even though he was not playing one but two characters.…

This went against, not just the rules of the church, but his own personal beliefs and everything he lived by. This caused John to…

    Herero Play Analysis

    I felt that all the actors did a very good job of taking on the lives of their characters and portraying the emotions of the characters they played. I felt the casting director did an incredible job on casting the cast, casting the right person for each role. While each actor stands out in their own unique way, it was Aejay Mitchell, in the role of another black man, who was on another level for me and his acting skills are unaidable good. Aejay Mitchell was my favorite actor of this play and performed the most captive scenes throughout the play. These scenes made you think and wonder how kind some people do those things. Aejay Mitchell knew his characters wants and tactics of the play. Another black man objective was to the tell the story of the Herero tribe in a way where the audience could understand both sides of the story. All his actions and gestures were tactics accordingly to what was happening in the play were incredible. Another black man…

    The actor I chose to critique was the African American chorus boy, who played many different small roles. 'Hair' was the first stage production that gave African Americans equality on the stage, so I was curious to see how he would embrace his role on stage. For being in the Tribe chorus as Claude's friend most of the act, I thought he was believable as a serious, bisexual hippie who was fully committed to taking part in the Tribe protests and drug trips, never once breaking character. With minimal lines he was able to encourage audience to interpret his actions and reactions. Even though he didn't speak very much, his intentions were communicated through his body language, he portrayed his character in act I with slightly feminized movements, and slightly awkward motions, creating a believable chorus character. When he did speak, he had done his job portraying his character, so his voice matched what my expectations were for his character. In act II, he played a very masculine solider, surprising me with the diversity of his acting. While the actor's dancing was good, he was great at tricks, executing flawless flips and split jumps in various numbers. His performance, along with the rest of the chorus, aided the principal actors performance in the musical, by staying true to their chorus roles.…

    Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a classic tale filled with political ties and hidden messages. These massages have been passed throughout history and preserved in the book. The movie has managed to keep these themes in tact, not only that but enhance the symbolism. The conflict in this book, whether it be the actual political conflicts at the time or the imaginary focus that happens to be the climax of the book are very complex and deep.…

    Each actor was different in there own way with different characteristics, which could pertain to our modern day life.
