evaluation!




In the musical theatre showcase malice i played the character illosovic stayne the naive of hearts who is the right hand man to the evil queen. i was really happy with the part i got as i never get to play a villain so it made a nice change, it was a very different character for me to play but i think i pulled it off.
It was good that the red queen was played by Gina as well because of past performances we have done together we make a good team and bounce of each other on stage which made it a lot easier for me as i hated singing in front of people so feeling comfortable made it a lot easier.
I think that most people would agree with me when i say the rehearsal process started to get boring and stress full the closer to the show we got and tensions were running high but it paid off at the end. honestly i did get worried on the day of the first show because that was the first time we had a proper run through and it didn't go the best, and Evan the show in the night there was a few mistakes luckily most of them wasn't noticeable to the audience except when someones mic was left on, but we pulled through and overall there was some positive feedback.
The best one for me i felt was the matinee show on the Wednesday because everyone was really going for it and the audience wasn't the biggest we had but was defiantly the most interactive audience we had which helps us on stage give it that little more and you could really see that everyone was enjoying it. i felt that in this performance of malice i did my best my reactions to everybody stage is what i wanted to make sure i did and i think i did that well and all though I'm not the best singer i thought me and the red queen worked really well with each other in good and evil and through all of ours scenes together.
The final performance was probably the most nerve racking for me as the brew house was nearly full which is the biggest audience iv had in my three years of being at Burton college and it felt amazing! although the crowd wasn't overly reactive with us the cheered and clapped in the right places which gave us all a confidence boost and you could really see that in some peoples performances they really shone through and made the show most of the time.
Overall id say that malice was a success and I'm really going to miss it now its over and before this I hated musical theatre with a passion but it has changed the way i see it now, it was extremely well written and i would love to do it all again, i think having the arts department make our set and the make up girls do our make up and the costumes being amazing really hyped everybody up and made it as good as it was, iv only heard positive feedback and id agree with all of it.
