My Broadway Review

Sliding Disney Characters

August 28th, 2009

When you want to see Disney characters on the ice this year, you will enjoy them performing some of the best material that Disney has to offer. Disney on Ice tickets are still available for all the rest of their shows. The casts across the country are performing as many as 10 different shows at once. High School Musical is one of the most popular, especially with the teenager crowd. Finding Nemo, based on the movie, is also one of the fan favorites in recent years. No matter which show you want to see, these are some of the most entertaining performances around. You will see favorite characters in costume on skates, singing your favorite songs. Enjoy the show!

Babes in Toyland

August 3rd, 2009

The show Babes in Toyland is one of the plays that is interesting to watch. I ran across this review of the newest production and the reviewer turned out not to like it that much. They have written something very different from the operetta of the early 20th century. They have some swearing and some odd thematics compared to the original. They do perform the original songs but none of them are particularly well done, it would seem. It’s an odd mix of old music and new script and the cast hasn’t quite figured it out. At the same time, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that they are trying something new with a script that everyone already knows. Innovation onstage is very helpful and after that it might get even better. We’ll see if they improve the picece at some point in the near future.
