My school did Chicago this year, and it was great!! Normally, risque plays like this are often modified so they can be performed at schools. My school modified it a bit. They do the same thing with Rent.
amazing job! i wish that our school could get permission to do a show like this one. by the way, the choreographer did an incredible job. did the other dancers have any background in dancing?
i think it's funny that they're dressed pretty provokative, well 'curved', good looking, but they wouldn't say ass, spread eagled, and a few other things. it's a great act, best high school one yet. it's just funny that they weren't allowed to do some things like in the movie
i completly agree! it wasnt that they didnt want to..but the student director that we started with was a prude and didnt think it was appropriate. oh well lol
i know right! haha she was a student director but the departments head director, James Wagoner, kind of handed her the project. She didn't pick it out herself. lol && thank you!!
very minimal front lighting with decent back lighting, good use of the red back light and good emulation of light flooding into a dark cell through a bared window. 2 thumbs up to the light designer, could have been a bit more convincing in the monologues but all in all very good
It's good, we also did this song for one of shows! Except our school is a little more....free I guess. We got to the say all the "ass" and stuff, our teachers WANTED us to stress those words out. My teachers are freaky that! The audience loved it! Weird though, our second girl the "six" one, sound EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE IN THE MOVIE!NOT KIDDING!
especially considering this was a high school, this was pretty damn entertaining. While all the girls performed very well, the one playing Velma Kelly I think had the most passion, especially with her words. Very well done!
I understand they just won't let you say certain things ('Single my foot", "...having an affair", "you been seein' the milkman"), but they didn't allow you to say 'Mormon'? Wow. I mean, that's what Mormons do...now if you were insulting, I could understand that, but wow..lol
& i completly agree with you...it was a bit ridiculous some of the things we had to change. during roxie she had to change "my boobs" to "my shoes"....yeah lol
Also, may I say it's refreshing to see them actually saying the lines themselves? Even if it was edited a bit, it just adds to the effect. Besides, some people are really bad at lip syncing!
hahah! actually, said fast enough 'my boots' isn't that bad of an exchange, now that I think of it...
This is my high school!!! Im so pround!!!!

Right, i can see why you've edited out most of the words..but what's wrong with the words "Mormon" and "beer"? :L
Great job though. Wish my school would cave in and let us do Chicago.
