Just finished watching wicked and it's good!!(: go watch it friends! Please don't continue reading this post unless you've watched it, or don't want to watch and need persuasion from me hehe!
The singers, especially the wicked witch, have such wonderful voices (sounded a bit Disney though) that you can totally feel their emotions. The wicked witch, performed by jemma rix, is so good I totally fell in love with her voice!! Not just nice but her technique is so good her 假音 is so gentle and sweet and the transition between her power voice and that is awww... Makes my hair stand!! I'm listening to jemma rix's defying gravity again and again, and I think hers is still the best among the many other versions, seriously. Actually that scene was actually so powerful in terms of visual and everything else, but I could only concentrate on her singing. I think I would not have liked the musical so much if she wasn't the one acting! If someone struck lottery please treat me to watch wicked a second time haha I want to hear her sing again but I'm just a poor student ): But I'm quite sad that she's not so known as compared to other actors of elphaba, because she really deserves it!
Then their use of props are so creative and the way they transit between scenes is soooo smooth and fast and wow! They dont need 黑衣人 to help them shift the props, because they have tracks on the stage that allow the props to move automatically! They even have a little bridge at the top where actors can go up and use that extra area. The lighting is good too, all the different colours and the thing that you put over to make different patterns in the light(Alamak forget the name><). I like how they play with the lights such that it does more than just illuminating, but also to dance around with the actors and to show the different areas.
It's really such a pity I only see all these after doing Huangcheng, because all these would have helped us to come up with better ideas for our stage design and play around with different kinds of 呈现手法。now I really really regret how unprepared I was before doing Huangcheng..): I should sit down and read 城说 someday and also think of other ways on how I can present 别无选择..
Watching shows is really such an expensive hobby>< I agree with what yuensin when she say that it's price inelastic, because there really isnt much of a choice if you really want to watch something. I feel so glad and appreciative that at least I have scholarship allowance that will support my expensive hobby. haha need to 培养文化修养:D
Can I fly over the rainbow like the bluebirds?
