So this was quite a show. High energy, complicated choreography and those voices, incredible. This show was good, I enjoyed the whole thing and was completely and utterly confused the whole way through. When we walked in the ensemble was scattered on the stage and in the audience as if they were just hanging around waiting for everything to start. My friend and I were even approached by a member in the cast who asked us if we knew when the meeting was going to start and who invited us. It was a little surreal with posters and newspaper scattered around the floor. It felt like we were gathering for a protest not a play. In the opening number the choreography worried me as it was slightly out of sync, but they showed me later on that I had nothing to worry about, they could hit a perfectly synced number if that was the goal.
The whole way though the plot was foggy that left myself and the rest of the audience with a choice, cling to the hope of understanding the plot or to forget about the what and focus on the who. (not the band the characters, though the band for this show was awesome) Once you did that you could see this guy who's just as messed up as you (and handling it poorly) go through the trials he created for himself. This show was enjoyable but made you feel both lucky and upset to be there. Lucky that you're not these characters and upset that someone may be.
I never realized how much Green day I knew until I was sitting there mouthing all the words to these songs.
On that note see you all eventually,
