Dancing and Lots of It

I just got home from seeing A Chorus Line at school. It was quite good. Leeor's criticism of the production is certainly accurate, but only to a degree. Everything is truly a matter of degrees though. It's like the uncertainty principle for human society. The thing with A Chorus Line, is that what's mostly good about it is the dancing (and the gold tuxedos of course). If there are two things in my life that I hate most, they are poetry and dancing. It's a personal preference. Nevertheless, I did surprisingly enjoying the play quite a bit. It was well worth my $6. It was fairly crowded, which was good but explicable by the fact that it was closing night. Most of the main floor was taken, so Evan, Owen, and I sat mostly alone in the front row of the balcony. I never realized how big the balcony is. We surmised that it must be 300 or 400 seats. It provided a good view too. I was surprised at the selection of A Chorus Line for the spring musical though. Not only did it contain a quantity of "adult material" that I would have thought would be nixed early on (even so, apparently quite a lot was cut for this reason), but the nature of the play isn't suited for high school. There is no set, and the costumes are either 80s street clothes or one of 2 gold-colored uniforms. Furthermore, there's little dialogue, and a bunch of loosely connected dancing and singing scenes. But it worked and was surprisingly effective. I'm going to bed.
