As per my usual tradition (since apparently I have one) I will tell you guys about the play I saw yesterday. In case the name of this post didn't give it away, I went and saw my school's production of Grease.
I wasn't planning on going after us going to the Saturday showing didn't work out, but I couldn't resist. It's one of the most popular plays our school has ever put on, everybody's been talking about how great it is, I love seeing plays and as a fan of musicals I felt I should see Grease at least once in my life.
While the timing wasn't that convenient, I must admit the show was fantastic. Our theater director had decided to go with a black and white theme. Most of the costumes stuck to black and white, as did the stage. It added a sort of retro feel to the production. And the show itself was very '50s. That's fine by me, almost any time period in the 1900's interests me (especially the '20s).
The band was great, the singers were fantastic and the dancing was incredible. As always with our school plays, we had some pretty dang good actors in the show. I didn't know how high I was going to rank Grease in my list of favorite plays because I thought it would be an over-rated show. I was wrong. It's not going to be my all-time favorite show, but it's definitely up there. The songs will stay with me for a while, and there were plenty of great quotes for me to use too.
I'm glad I got the chance to see this show. The cast and crew did a great job.
