Good performance, poor diction
Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe的点评
点评:I just saw Once on this Island and normally enjoy WCBT's productions. But, I, along with a lot of friends (who were also there) had the same comment. Most of us could not understand the words to any song when sung by the chorus or for that matter, even by more than one person. At first we thought their Mikes were blurring the sound, but after a few songs, we recognized it was the poor diction. Fortunately, the script was easy to follow. It takes a lot of work to put on a large production but the play is ruined when we can't figure out the words being sung.
On the other hand, the young girl (lead) was amazing, her parents and young male lover, held it all together. The dancers were fun to watch but hard to understand.
Sincerely, Joan Sable p.s. I hope my critique helps with future plays.
翻译:我刚刚看了《岛上的往事》,通常很喜欢 WCBT 的作品。但是,我和很多朋友(也在场)也有同样的评论。当合唱团或就此而言,即使是由多个人演唱时,我们大多数人都无法理解任何歌曲的歌词。起初我们以为他们的麦克风使声音变得模糊,但听了几首歌后,我们意识到这是糟糕的措辞。幸运的是,这个脚本很容易理解。制作一部大型作品需要做很多工作,但当我们无法弄清楚所唱的歌词时,这部剧就被毁了。
另一方面,年轻的女孩(主角)很棒,她的父母和年轻的男性情人将这一切结合在一起。舞者们看起来很有趣,但很难理解。
此致,琼·塞布尔我希望我的批评对未来的戏剧有所帮助。
