WAY OFF BROADWAY--

was amazing.
Okay, let me be Miss Critique here-
1. Singing- good. I think that it could have been kinda lighter, though... Cause they were all doing their accapella thing into their mics really loud and Vic's voice is all... strong.
2. Rice- aw. Aw. Poor Rice. I mean... at TCSIT people actually laughed, which makes it funnier. He did well, though, but laughter encourages him, so he didn't get his expected dose of encouragement. And he did the Indian-accent-high-pitched alien voice! He didn't do that at TCSIT.
3. Rye and Kronkenator- whoa. Intense! I'm glad I caught it, though... ARGH it was so good... "But, you know, if you really think about it... everyone's just passing through. ... ...There's that bird again..." It was so good, I love it when there's a reoccuring line that makes you almost cry at the end... it's so beautiful...
I'm sorry, I'm being dramatic. Next!
4. Singing- Um. Not so great. Not bad, just, I don't know, not enough feel for it.
5. Rye- Wow. Her eyes and facial expression just make the audience feel the pain, and it's clear when she changes characters. She's talented, it connects right to your heart.
5. Jazz band. Nope. Not gonna comment.
6. Rodden- Nice job, Rodden. A lot better than at TCSIT. If you did that well at the competition, you could've probably snagged 3rd. "You can't clean... with DRY."
7. Singing- Wow. Petes is really good. Really good. I mean, really, really, really good... I like his voice a lot. It's smooth and doesn't sound all icky when he hits the high notes.
8. Jazz band again, no comments again.
9. Kronkenator. Amazing. Wow. Amazing... I don't know, how does he take the script, ordinary words, and create it into something so... real? I mean, the beginning. So much character within the first five seconds. And when he stared cluelessly out into the audience... I don't know, he changed his eyes so that they were absoluetly confused. It was just so real the whole way through, like he really believed what he was saying, that he was really Charlie Chaplin... And the accent. It was flawless, and when he began speaking again in the American accent I thought for a second, "Wow, he does a good American accent." I don't know. Kronkenator... I don't know, such an inspiring and amazing actor... Withim's pretty good, too... But... so talented... I don't know, it's just... so much talent here... It just kinda gets you to the heart. Kind of like that one quote some author made, about wanting to get to people's hearts right where it hits them.
10. The play. Haha, nice, Rice. But I can see why it didn't win TCSIT. I mean, our seniors were all at Europe, so... we actually didn't have anyone too good. Rodden's pretty good. Rice... well, Rice is good, but still... don't know, doesn't make you believe in it.
11. Singing. Okay. It was fine. Afterwards the seniors that were there went up and got a rose. So many of them were almost crying and trying to hide it... And they actually hid it pretty well, you couldn't have noticed if you weren't looking for it.
Overall, I really liked Way Off Broadway. I'll always remeber it.
