For a movie version of a musical (the phantom of the opera, grease, chicago, les misérables, and so on) and go see a live performance of
it. the live performance may be professional or amateur, such as a high school production. then, watch the musical's adaptation on film. write a
critique of the movie in terms of its theatricality, the performances, and the script adjustments in the movie version for it to work cinematically.
compare and contrast the two.
your critique should cover the following points:
. the name of the musical that you are viewing. also, include whether the live performance is professional or amateur
• describe some of the differences between the movie production and a live performance.
. given the limitations of a live performance, what are some of the challenges the performers have regarding the dances, the actual live
musicians, the scenery, and so on.
. why would there be certain song omissions or additions (if any)?
• any other difference you observe between the live performance and the movie.
