Disney Comedy.... :-D

I had the chance to watch the Disney Silly Symphony by our org the Order of Scarlet Thespians (OST), the theater group of San Beda where I am moderator (yihee!). One thing that I can say is: Good Job!!!! I know the talent is already there... most of them, especially the "veterans" already have what it takes to perform onstage. There are still some inhibitions, though. There are instances when they could have shown more emotion, especially from the neophytes. In short, they still feel shy.

While watching, I was joking with Arvin, Biboy, and Toni (RENT alumni! hehehe) that I should have auditioned. They performed my favorite Disney song, Colors of the Wind, from Pocahontas. I should have sung that, joke! But of course, it was performed magnificently by my "children", hehehe.....

The adlibs were funny! We liked especially the Reflections performance! They really practiced the synchronized movements of the girl and her "reflection", ahahahaha!!!!

On the downside, the technical aspect needs to be improved. Lights need to be maximized, especially during instrumentals. Wearing a "theme" costume could have made some members of the audience appreciate the performances more, especially with those Disney songs that are not very familiar to them. And why were there no lapels??!! They were able to use some during the first day.

I was really pleased that they included Circle of Life and placed it in the finale. A fitting end to a wonderful show! Also, a tribute to one of the best Disney movies ever made, The Lion King. They had a strong start which caught the audience's attention. The part where the background chants were being sung concerned me because I thought they might not sustain the energy while singing. But it came out satisfactorily and I'm proud of them! By the way, I uploaded the Circle of Life version by the Madrigal Singers; of course, being Madz, their version is a lot better, but considering the youth and relative inexperience of my "children", their version is very satisfactorily done.
