So I watched Edges the musical on Wednesday night. I got to know it through facebook where they were sharing the facebook song. Coincidentally, or rather, obviously, Joel was the music director for the show! I got to know him some 8 years ago where he actually was a pianist for one of my choir concert and he played for SYF for us too.
Anyway, I must say that I enjoyed the musical overall. The drama centre black box was pretty small and that gave the actors and the audience intamacy. I am sure everyone was engaged. I could see the body language and facial expressions with ease.
The set was cute and I love the colourful light bulbs that were hanging from on top, just like in church(lifeunited church). The quality of the sound was really good, though Joel did tell me that they had problems initially. But it was fine! The voices were really crisp and the dynamics could be heard. It seemed like they did not need to put so much effort in singing due to the fantastic sound system.
It was a song-cycle so all they did was just transit from one song to another with no storyline. I would love to perform in this kind of musical actually. Simply concentrating on acting and singing and not worrying about screwing up the lines.
Ahhh, when will there be a chance for me to perform in a production again? :/
