The Fantasticks - Much More

Community theater production. Luisa dreams of a life much more than the simple one she is currently living. She'd like to be, not evil, but a little worldly wise.

this is by far the best version of this song/monologue on youtube.

@lilmisbroadway34 The actress in this clip actually has a channel where you can view some other songs she has performed. Her channel is "ladivamusica".

what is he saying at 1:28? she has a glue paste necklace?

[ookete]

@HanaRose95 Yes, that's what he says. I believe that was an old fashioned way to make necklaces, was with some kind of paste. Basically he's saying that Luisa had an imitation necklace that belonged to her mother, and she believed it was real.

@ookete glue past means rhinestone

@maskman21218 Ah! Thanks for solving the mystery. :)

I completely disagree. Her Luisa is nowhere near stupid or crazy in this clip. She's a dreamer, though naive. And she grows as the play progresses (see some of the last clips posted). The contrast from this beginning to the end is crucial.

An actor shouldn't play-act "eccentric", as you suggest. They should drive the motion of the scene according to the character's desires and needs. In this case, Luisa needs to live a life outside her humble sphere and she is entirely caught up in that dream.

This is really helpful, since this girl's so awesome. I was recently cast as Luisa in a community theater too, and our first read-through is tomorrow so this is giving me a little confidence :)
