Blog 4

          There is a lot of broadway shows in the New York city. One of my favorite show is Wicked. During my 11 grade, I have a privilege to watch Wicked live on stage in New York. It was part of my junior field trip. The story of Wicked is mostly about two characters, Elphaba and Glinda. This story is happened before Dorothy come in to the picture. The show is very entertaining. It gives the audience a brief story between "evil" and "good" about both main character friendship. Glinda is a popular student, who trying to teach Elphaba to be popular like her. This part of the story makes the audience enjoy the comedy of the show. The music and performance are both fantastic with correct movement for each scene. Wicked receives a lot of compliment from big publishers, like The New York Times and Time Magazine.

          Another broadway show that I like is called the Lion King. This shows is created base on the original Lion King from Disney in 1994. The Lion King is a story about a young lion, Simba, who is meant is be a king after his father. The background and the atmosphere gives me a feeling that I'm in a great land of Africa. The show does a good job portraying the evilness of Simba's uncle, the pureness of Simba and the mightiness of the Simba's father. Simba's uncle, Scar, who is trying to take the King's place to rule the land for himself by kill the King. Simba has to find the way to fight back for his father's glory. The Lion King draws a wonder picture about parent's love and courageousness for the audience.

          In conclusion, these two broadway shows are my favorite among all the show. They are both well-constructed shows. We can see that they have to practice a lot in order to put in a great performance for the us. Hard work and talent helps the shows as well as broadway developed and become more popular over time.
