I didn't g...I mentioned Fiddler in an earlier post. I didn't get into a big review of it because I didn't want to hurt anbody's feelings...BUT..... Let me start out by saying that I know this was youth theatre. I have seen a lot of youth theatre and been involved in youth theatre, but I was disappointed by Alaska Theatre of Youth's Fiddler. <BR/><BR/>I think I expected more from them. Much of the acting was weak, so when there was a good actor they overpowered the weaker ones. The singing was pretty good by some of the people. Really I am much more tolerant of weak singing than weak acting. A few of the main characters did not have very good projection or enunciation which made them difficult to hear even though the stage was mic'ed.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the blame lies entirely with the kids. I think some of these problems could have been worked out by some good old fashioned directing from their Director.<BR/><BR/>I was ready to leave halfway through the first act but I didn't want to be rude. I left during the intermission. I just couldn't sit through the second act. First play I have ever walked out of. I was bummed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384835463263616272.post-82049342182258140902008-12-11T17:42:00.000-09:002008-12-11T17:42:00.000-09:00Dude! How about Fiddler?Dude!
