Clifford

I went to Parker playhouse this past Sunday and saw my first children's musical. Clifford the Big Red Dog! It was probably one of the funniest kids shows I've ever seen even though its the only one I've seen so far. It was so fun to watch the children enjoying and having a blast at the show, but it was more fun as a young adult to watch the show. I went to this show with one my best friends and we couldn't stop laughing. But the best part was the audience participation. When the actors would ask a question the children would shout the funniest things "what's your favorite color", then a kid was like "moose"!!! We were cracking up. Then at one point a kid told his mom he wants to go hug the dog and he climbed over the row and she pulled him back over and as she went to sit down ,she fell. I would see it again because of how funny and silly it was and how young it made me feel again. I GIVE "CLIFFORD" 2 PAWS UP!

Forbidden Hollywood

This laugh out loud show was extremely hilarious. I attended Forbidden Hollywood with my friend. My friend usually is silent but this show had her cracking up. This show puts a smile on your face the whole time. To me I enjoyed it because I enjoy spoofs and just the whole aspect of making fun of some things it was out right hilarious. My friend and I talked about the show after and we agreed that since we are from a younger generation we didn't understand some parts but caught on and understood the jokes. My favorite part is the spoof on how they are making Titanic in 3D just to make more money off of the movie. This is a sequel to a show I saw a few years back "Forbidden Broadway". This show was a complete comedy from begining to end. I give this show props for only having 4 actors on board they portrayed every part perfectly.

Billy Elliot

Billy Elliot is probably now one of my favorite musicals. I just have to say this season at the Broward Center is probably one of the best yet. I've enjoyed every show I have attended. But Billy Elliot was by far one of the best. Just watching a musical about dance (one of my most favorite hobbies) thrilled me. The dancing in this show is outrageous. The story line told is  a beautiful story of a young boy with a dream. Watching this show from a dancers point of view totally made it better but watching at a male dancers point of view made it come alive. I related to this musical in my aspect. I started playing a sport that my dad got me into and then when I started dance my dad at first wasn't on board but realized that what makes me happy makes him happy. Then when I saw how Billy's dad was super supportive made me think of my dad. I just enjoyed watching this musical so much it seriously touched my heart.

Rigelloto

I had my first experience of seeing an Opera on Thursday night. It was Verdi's Rigelloto.The storyline of  Rigelloto the jester was super intense. For my first experience at an opera, what an impression it made on me. This specific opera was an edge seater!!!
Rigelloto is an opera  about a young duke who has multiple affairs with many women, and the royal jester mocks all of his relationships. But one day the jesters daughter was kidnapped and in one of these affairs with the duke. This drives the jester to an edge and wants  the dukes dead. So the jester hires an assasign to kill the duke, and on an acccident kills the daughter and sews her in a bag and as the jester drags the bag to throw in the river hears that the duke is talking and alive. He opens the bag and sees his daughter's body and she sings to him of how she will wait in  heaven with her mother for her father. This was a very touching opera. The voices of the 3 leads had such strength and power behind them. I am looking foward to my next Opera.

Jersey Boys

 Jersey boys is most definitely one of my top 10 favorite musicals on this 
planet. I was dancing in my seat to just about every song and singing along with the music.

As the scenery changed you felt like you were right there beside them whether it was in the

recording studio, in the car on the road with them, or in the clubs.But 
the whole production of the show was perfectly put together I would see this 
musical if I would get the chance again and again. Everyone's voices were amazing especially 
the leads voice "Frankie Valli". This musical was so exceptional it probably made 
it to my top 5 and that's pretty good because I have seen over 25 musicals. If 
you haven't seen Jersey boys your really missing out so you better go see it 
because I know I want to go again.
 This show is at the Broward Center til January 29th so go and experience "Oh what a night" it truely is!!!

On December 27 I got to see my first cirque de soleil performance called Cirque Dreams Holidaze.  After Christmas I thought that I wouldnt be able to stay in my holiday spirit but this performance did. This show was probably the most fantastic thing I've seen in quite a while. The whole time I was on the edge of my seat, this show was heart racing, it would  make me nervous to see if the person doing the stunt was actually capable of doing the stunt and all of them were. Throughout the show I was singing along with all the music and having such a great time. They had outrageous costumes that were eye popping. My favorite part of the show is the quick change artists a man and a woman would go from one extremed outfit to another in just a blink of a second. In this show there are various amounts of acts and they just got bigger and better as the show went on. I would see this show everyday of the week if I could, I thought it was phenomenal. So everyone should hurry up and buy a student rush ticket if you can cause if I missed out on this wonderful show I don't think I would ever be able to forgive myself.

Beauty and the Beast

 And the amazing opportunities keep coming, on Teusday November 15th I got to go see Beauty and the Beast. The show was phennomanal. The costumes of not only Belle but all of them were beautiful. The scenery was just so amazing how they replicated the movie and how it goes from one extreme to another. But the musicality wasnt always on point, but it still was a great show!
  Then on November 16th I got two more oppurtunites. First, I got the chance to sit in on a meet and greet with some of the cast. Second, I got to meet with the stage director and we also got a backstage tour before their show that night. When I met with the cast, the characters we got to meet were, Mrs.Pots, Beast, Lumiere, and Cogsworth. They explained how they got where they are today and their points of view about the play and Broadway, how they prepare for a show, and where they started. But going on the tour backstage was so amazing. Seeing the preparation before the show the set-up and how things work. We also got to ask questions and a question asked was "How do you make the illusions happen in the play?". The answer from the stage manager was "Disney Magic" and thats all he told us. This show is a must see, it is magical..."Disney Magical"!!!
