The Great Gatsby in UPM

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” —Nick Carraway (quoting his father)

The Great Gatsby ........

Watching the play on Thursday night was a fun thing to do . However, I would still have some comments to make.

The up-side of the play....

I would say that the entire play was a great one. The actors, the dancers and the crews was fantastic. They were working fast and great. The actors  were so into their acting and I was shocked to see how my girl / bestie / classmate / was so good in portraying the character , Daisy. The flow of the show was very good. You can see that they worked very hard to put on the show. The falling down , the laughter and the pun was clear and very real.  I got so happy that the actors played the characters so well. The ending was so good as Carraway focussed his emotions at one point that made me teared.( Not every play does that)

The Down side of the Play. 

I don’t really like the start of the show. An opening should be interesting and eye-catching. But the opening was a little blunt. I can’t fake my thoughts about them. I would expect that the music faculty would play something from the Jazz Era instead of Jason Mraz (Lucky). It is not what I would expect. I need more soul too. A little more of Aretha Franklin. The momentum of the entire play was a little slow.  I felt happy that the end of the play was better than the beginning.The voice projection was a little bad. But the character . Baker was good at the voice projection.
