I'm looking up different Sound of Music scenes, and they're all horrible. The acting is terrible, there's not feeling to it, and the audience doesn't laugh! I don't blame the audience-- the actors aren't a bit funny!
Even the ones that have real adults as the adult roles are horrid. Like in one video, in the scene where Maria (by Kayle) says, "Thank you, Captain. Oh! I forgot to return your whistle-- Captain. I won't be needing it... CAPTAIN!" the lady in the video I watched just kinda went, "Thank you, Captain. I forgot to return this, Captain. I won't be needing it. Captain." And the Friedrich was just like, "I'm Friedrich. I'm fourteen. I'm a boy." Just plain, flat, monotonous. And the Kurt? "Brigita. You mustn't say a thing like that. I'm Kurt. ALMOST."
Wow, the Woods of Brent really IS a whole lot better... I'm glad I got to play in a performance with actual VALUE to it.
