On Sunday I saw the play version of Cinderella and it was pretty good. I'd say maybe even better than the movie, (mainly because they made cinderella take responsibility for her own life before the fairy godmother did the whole, dress, pumpkin and mice thing. Sets a better example for kids than the prince just falling in love with her because of her being in a dress etc.) But the one thing that bugged me... is their singing. I mean it's not that they sang bad... well kind of.. they could sing in tune it's just that there's a difference between real vibrato and fake vibrato... They were doing the fake kind.. just shaking in their throats (I don't know how to describe it) but it was REALLY annoying, I couldn't listen to them.. well cinderella got better as the play went on but the prince... just, NO. Also... the romantic parts were REALLY CHEESY I COULDN'T BEAR TO WATCH IT. For example the worst line in the entire play by the prince, "Then are you dreaming I'm about to kiss you right now?" *kiss* UGH.
My favorite parts in the play was the two step sisters, Joy and Grace. THEY WERE HILARIOUS!! And I found out Joy was played by a guy, lmao! I also loved the horses with attitude! When the mice were changed into horses (guys in horse head things) they did this head-swing-back-thing-with-one-leg-up and just made me think "horses with attitude" I don't know why I just loved it! hehe :)
But overall the story was nice, the characters well done, the king and queen were funny too! and yeah that's about it. Mysia saw it with me too, along with a group of friends, maybe she'll post her own review of the play soon!
