Tonight, me and Caryn went for a musical play - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It was held in St Agnes College auditorium. Not a big and nice hall though, with wooden old chairs, no AC, small stage, no great lightings... This is the first time we both watching a musical play live, so we were quite excited about it, but, when we thought that it was held in India, performed by Indians, and without great environment, hence we were not expecting much as well, just to enjoy our first time experience, and the more important thing to us is that the person who will be sitting next to us when we watch it :) Well, to be honest, it was her insistence since the last few days that made me go and buy the tickets and watch the show with her, cz she's a big fan of musical plays. :P
However, to sum it up, the play was great. Even with limited sources and spaces and effects, the 'actors and actresses' managed to present a decent and satisfactory performance. We both enjoyed it, and i'm sure other people do. The players had managed to let us focus on the their skills and music and dances and expressions rather than the stuffy weather and uncomfortable chair. Plus, their english accent is excellent. Well, the story is basically set in the old 'cowboy' era. A man, Adam Pontipee, the eldest , goes to town and finds himself a wife. He sees Millie and decides that she is the woman for him. Millie was shock to see that Adam's house actually are also preoccupied by his 6 brothers. So, after sometime, she sets her mind to helping them to find girls of their own. So, the whole stories travel around the theme of courtship; the position of men and women; and of course, love. The musics and dancing were pretty decent, not to say great because we can't compare with the casts in the movie of 1954. Still, musicals are great and fun to watch. It makes you feel comfortable and happy. The musics always cheers you up. Long live musicals still, though i'm not a big fan of this genre.
Well, it was a happy moment for both of us, and after the show we had dinner together. Now that i'm back in my room, it was already 10pm and seeing the whole bunch of books on my table makes me sick again. Exam starts in 3 days time, damn. Ciao, study study.
