This evening I went to see My Goodness, an original musical produced locally by quite a talented ensemble.
The ticket cost me 350 NT. So I think I'm gonna be honest. And brief.
*Actors and actresses are quite good, especially 呂佳絃, who outshines all the other casts. And 郭耀仁 too, is outstanding.
*Some pretty hilarious scenes.
*Daring attempt in creating an original musical. Very brave.
And....regretfully, the good part is over.
What I don't like about the play:
*Way too many change of scenes that it gets really annoying and makes the whole flow of play everything but smooth. The rhythm of the play is completed lost. What's the point of such frequent change of scene if a pleasant, smooth flow isn't felt at all?
*After reading the introduction of the story, I had great expectation about how they're gonna bring out the discussions and critique of the social value. From the printed introduction I believe the topic is going to be quite deep: identity with the local culture, culture invasion, humanity.
After watching the whole play, however, I feel an awful lack of in-depth discussion/ presentation throughout the whole play. This disappointed (pissed?)me greatly.
*The lead actor keeps questions about true meaning of life, value of life. To me it's just some meaningless grumbling and whining. (Well, everyone's entitled to do so though.)
*The songs are nice. And that's it. Simply nice. The only memorable tunes is the one done by the witch, but it's not original, it's from Into the Woods.
--------------
I have to say I'm not really entertained. But honestly, I'm quite happy to see this, knowing that there are many people fighting hard to achieve their dreams in theater. And this alone, is really worth encouraging.
加油！Kudos to all who worked damn hard making theater a reality.
