The First Day of Ever After

   Such a cheesy line! But it gave me a title so I'm going with it.
   Right, so, play review time. My school's doing Sleeping Beauty. Obvious cheesiness aside (it is a fairy tale) it was actually a pretty good play. A lot of funny moments, a lot of kind of sweet moments and some really beautiful music and a few pretty fun songs.
   The actors all did a good job. There's this girl at our school who's actually done some professional acting, she was one of the aunts and I still can't get over how talented she is. In generally, it was a good cast who did a great job. All of the animals were hilarious. I also loved getting to see my two friends, one of whom was a lord with a British accent (he later got onto me and the friends I was with for showing our ankles after the show while he still had to be in character, but I told him it was because it allowed us to run faster when being pursued by evil witches, which happened to us a lot) and the other who was a mouse who really wanted to be a little boy again. He kind of got manhandled a lot.
   The set looked great (yay for us!) and the lighting was beautiful. The sound wasn't great, the mics messed up a bit. But on the whole it was a great performance and I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would. It made me laugh quite a bit, which made my sister get onto me because I have a really loud laugh.
   So good job to everybody involved. Next school show: A Very Potter Musical (oh yeah).
