There were many positives, negatives, regrets and achievements throughout the final performance. The audience seemed to connect to the performance quickly and easily which made the overall performance run with a boost of confidence from the cast. The entire ensemble took a few chances on stage that seemed to pay off however, there were negatives such as projection which meant if I could notice it from the wings the audience would be struggling to. The songs were not sung as well as other times but that can be as most of the cast were non singers or slightly more able and with a sudden change to sing two songs acoustically due to tech and timing issues did not help the situation.
However, the audience connected and when the ‘Tinder’ scene had started the audience filled the room with laughter, the acting from the cast in the scene worked well because the characters were exaggerated and that complimented the bizarre dialogue. The characters could have been pushed a little further and be more expressive but the scene still worked. As for the ‘Catholic vs. Church of England’ scene I choreographed, I believed it worked well especially seeing as both actors were not dancers. But I could see there was room for improvement in regards to the dancing, the pace and the speed. Although I do believe there was an issue for the actors on who to listen to, either myself or the director. We both had differing visions for the scene and I was having the scene changed without my knowing or input.
