AIDA by Amy
When I went to AIDA, I really didn’t have any expectations. I had never seen it before, or even heard or it before On Stage so I was excited. The night before I went I heard many people talking about how amazing it was, so I was ready to be amazed. I think that anyone who went to AIDA would say that is completely goes beyond your expectations. From the singing and the dancing, to the story itself; you would have to have slept thought it all to not realize how remarkable it was.
To me the story of AIDA is an enduring story that contains many messages. Of course, the love story is extremely evident but it goes much deeper than that. The actors and actresses were extremely gifted and after talking to them afterwards I really realized that they were REAL people. Sometimes when you see people on stage you forget the fact that they are just like you. They get nervous, they have to practive, and it’s their job. A highlight of my evening was talking to them afterwards and hearing their point of view on the musical. I also thoroughly enjoyed watching the musical and taking it all in.
One of the ideas that I thought was significant was the idea that sometimes what society says and what is actually right are complete opposites. I saw this in AIDA when Aida and Radmaes wanted to be together, but knew they couldn’t because she was a slave and he was above her. They had to try and forget that they loved each other simply because it would be frowned upon by others. Another message is that just because we’re give a certain “title” in life, doesn’t mean that they are nay less of a person than he way. He realized that and that is when he helped them. These are just a couple of messages I got out AIDA. I’m sure there are many more and that each time a person is to see it they will pick up more of them.
Since I have been in dance for thirteen years, I really enjoy watching the dancing in performances. In AIDA the dancing did not disappoint. The lifts were incredible and choreography was tremendous. The dancing fit right in to the story. I also thought it was appropriate that most of the dancing was modern, because modern dance is kind of a connection between the past and the present and I think that they were trying to achieve that in AIDA. It was definitely a joy to watch.
AIDA was a wonderful performance that I would absolutely see again. I would encourage anyone what hasn’t seen it, to go watch it. It is something that you can’t appreciate until you see it. I think that many of the messages I can and will apply to my daily life. I love every minute of this performance and can not wait to see the next.
