This is from the RCHS production of Frank Wildhorn ad Nan Knighton's "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in 2008. The song is "Where's the Girl?", sung by Citizen Chauvelin.
He sings the song well. I think he needs to make stronger acting choices. It's not enough to sing the song and make some gestures here and there. As an actor he needs to think of what the song means, where it falls in his character's journey. How it changes him or reflects who he is. From seeing this, I couldn't tell he still had feelings for her. So, stronger acting choices.
Overall, not too bad..pretty good for a high school
she's a better person now. In the corners of her mind, she remembers the adventures they used to have. How good they felt, how liberating they were. How reckless she was. But she also knows that it was only lust, not love. It was a physical, materialistic liberation. Anyway, I don't mean to ramble on and bore you. It's just that I really love this show and wanted to give you some pointers. Hope I wasn't too late!
Okay. Here comes some constructive criticism. Forgive me if I sound harsh, but I just want to help. I feel that the actor really needs to ponder what he's feeling during this song. Chauvelin is reminiscing about their past relationship, and how fiery she used to be. But she's changed since then. And he wants her back, so he's trying to seduce her with this song. But it's never going to work, again, because she's a changed person. They did a lot of not so good things in the past but (continued)
Man, you have two legs. Stand on them both! That way one is not jealous of the other ;-))
