AIDA by Cherith
After reading the study guide I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, I had no idea that this was going to be a newer more modern version. I expected it to be set in the past and stay there so you can imagine my surprise when at the beginning all the characters were wearing clothes that would be worn today. At first I was slightly confused wondering if the whole thing had been converted to present day. The set was very interesting because it was a mixture of past and present. This was something very unique to the performance that I enjoyed.
AIDA was an amazing performance. When the actors sang it was incredible. There was so much conviction and feeling in their voices I began to forget they were actors at all (intermission was a rather rude awakening). Leaving the performance I was so feeling so many things; I felt highly emotional and exhilarated after the riveting and poignant performance, and I was excited and was anticipating meeting actors from the Musical.
It is truly hard to name my favorite part because I had so very many, but some of them would be the singing, it was exquisite and moving and so intense that I was completely blown away. My favorite song was the duet between Mereb and AIDA, their voices were so beautiful together and I enjoyed it very much. There were many other parts that I liked at lot and a very few I didn’t. My least favorite songs in the performance were “Fortune Favors the Brave” and the song Zoser and his miscreants sang. They really accomplished the creepy, slimy thing with him.
Many of my friends think that musicals are boring and uninteresting but I doubt they have seen this one, I would recommend it highly to them. When the Nubians were dancing and crying out for their princess I felt for them, I felt pain with her, it was so personal and real. When she had the Anguish of choosing her family and heritage or the man she loved and a life with him I was mourning wither her, I felt the despair and felt her (and my heart breaking). This was such a powerful performance I don’t know how anyone could think it was boring.
After the performance I was kind of expecting to meet with stage hands number seven and eight and maybe I couple of understudies, I didn’t think that the leads would have time to spare for a High School group. I was delighted to find that this guess was way off base. I was really neat to get to hear these actors and hear their feelings. One thing that I learned from their comments was just the fact that acting is a real job, in a sense I had known this but I had kind of romanticized the idea.
AIDA was breathtaking and heart wrenching, it was beautiful and touching, I am very glad that I got to see it and will remember it for a very long time.
