weekly_blog_post: City of Angels

I went to see City of Angels the other evening at the Allen Bales Theater on UA campus. So if you’ve been to the Allen Bales Theater before, you already know that the stage is a pretty small one; however, I was absolutely amazed by what the UA theater group was able to accomplish with it! They reused the same set throughout the play, creating new scenes by rearranging the props on stage which was extremely clever. City of Angels is a comedy about an author who is trying to write a screenplay for a producer who has bought the rights to the play. The producer is the most obnoxious character as he keeps trying to change lines in the play, driving the writer crazy. The cast did an amazing job getting the audience involved in the show by actually going into the audience during some of the scenes in the show. UA definitely has some incredibly talented theater majors. The singing in this musical was Broadway worthy!  This was definitely one of the most enjoyable fine arts events that I have attended all semester. City of Angels is still showing through the weekend I believe. I recommend you try and catch the show if you haven’t already.
