The Sound Of Music Cambridge reviews
WOW. Incredible show!!
Make sure you get the right seats!!!
The presentation was great. I loved all of the little goodies to help the movie. However, the parade of characters was way toooooo long. By the time we ordered our seats we could not get the best seats, however, I would not have imagined so many 20's being there. And since we were in seats they could afford, we were surrounded by them. A few were paying attention to the movie, but the rest were using this as a "meat market". They were talking through the whole movie, using their phones to take pictures of each other, and making out as if they were teenagers at the drive-in movies.
If you are older than 27, DO NOT GET THE CHEAPER SEATS!!! Next year, we will order the tickets right away to get the tickets that more mature people can afford.
Sound of Music
The story is timeless, but the set, musical adaptations, and costuming at this theater should be updated:
1) I couldn't take my eyes off the 3 vertical seams in the background mountain scene - very fakey.
2) The music was "tinny" at times and one of the nuns' chorals (can't think of the proper term) was almost harsh to the ears. It could be attributed to the acoustics of the theater itself.
3) The costuming should be re-examined: particularly that of Elsa Schrader. A wealthy woman ALWAYS has shoes that matches her outfit; not just a pair in her closet that "goes with" what she happens to be wearing that day. And her outfit style and color ALWAYS compliments her body type.
