so ms. fleer asked me to play bass clarinet in pit for the musical cinderella. i was all excited, because i haven't done pit before, and i thought it'd be interesting. it's interesting, i guess, but not the kind i was expecting. the music is really repetitive, and it gets stuck in my head for hours on end. ten minutes ago i saw youuuuuuuu. the prince is giving a ball! impossible, for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in maaaarriage. yeah. and the lyrics aren't even cool. they're cheesy and lame. the only cool part about the musical is that they have a remote control pumpkin (a pumpkin on a remote control car). oh, and the costumes are entertaining to look at. besides these two things, it's pretty terrible. it's weird, because i really love music, and pretty much hate this musical. the characters aren't well-developed, and their dialogue is really predictable. and the prince is a total ditz. in the disney version, the prince doesn't say much, so he doesn't have a chance to seem stupid. oh, and what is the lesson of this musical? pretty people are happier. i'm really glad lots of small children will come and get this pounded in their head. cinderella and the prince don't ever have an actual conversation. so three cheers for people that are attractive and shallow.
