Blog 4: Broadway in the [BIG] Box

On October 20th I attended the performance of Broadway in the [BIG] Box in Stockton’s Performing Arts Center.  The show consisted of solo and duet artists performing different songs from a wide variety of Broadway shows.  But it wasn’t just like a talent show where the acts have nothing to do with each other; they incorporated it into some sort of explanation of Broadway.  The show had a “host” which not only introduced the acts but interacted with the performers and explained how each acted showed a different dynamic of Broadway musicals.  The show not only had solo and duet acts; the show had an ensemble to catered to the more shy of Broadway fans who don’t want to be in the limelight but want to be a part of the action.  I went to the show because two of my friends were a part of the ensemble, which performed four different songs which included Wicked’s “One Short Day” and Hairspray’s “You Can’t Stop the Beat”.  They did great and they said they had a lot of fun being a part of the show.  I, being not a very good singer but a big lover of everything Broadway, would want to be a part of the ensemble if they ever did a show like this again.  This show was not only a pleasure to watch, but it was also a great opportunity for everyone to get their chance on stage.
