Now, the review itself.
The tone of the play compared to the movie was a bit different. Ren was a bit more of a lanky awkward guy in the musical compared to the tuff rebel that he is portrayed as in the movie. But this worked out perfectly. We got the story of an outsider who really just wants to dance. Just like the movie the play gave us the same feeling of rebellion against adults who view fun and dancing as the devil. The songs where performed well and they delivered the emotions they were designed to do.
Holding out for a hero was definitely my favorite one and it was also the best performed song in my opinion. The fact that the cast was so big really helped to bring us many different actors to work with. The play had all types of actors and this made it easy to place them into the best role for them. So finding fitting actors to play certain characters seemed to not be a problem.
The length of the play was good, not to long and not too short. Something that I did not like was the long church scenes. they felt dragged out and was probably the most boring scenes of the play. I feel as if this could have been fixed by adding more energy in the church song. Although this would not have worked due to how the town is supposed to be portrayed as a very uptight and boring town. But I can dream at least. Overall the play was very good and lived up to the Winter musical hype.
// Peace :D
