My Broadway Review

     The play titled, “The Philanthropist” stars actor Matthew Broderick has received mediocre reviews. Many say the feeling of the play reminds them of a “stuffy room,” that is filled with pompous characters in which the actors play. The play depicts the story of a truth binding man-hater who can’t stand the debutant aristocratic society in which he is apart of. At time the play can be gently funny to watch and has an erotically young student playwright. Since the play stars actor Matthew Broderick I would recommend to people to go see this play because at least you can get a chance to see a movie star do theater. 

This entry makes people think that this blog is only for products of serious or sad things, but this is one of the most interesting productions of the year.  It is the production of Wagners “Die Walküre”, the opera. The man who plays Wotan, James Morris, may be a little too old for the role, with his voice failing him at times. It’s also possible to think that this sound made him even more believable in the role, which shows that it’s not enough to have absolute power, but you must also have wisdom. In other words, the character has power but is also quite fallible at the same time. Similarly, his characterization fit that perfectly. Keep an eye on this production: it is at the Met and it’s one of the best.
