N.E. Brigand Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If you're playing the "Overture to The School for Scandal", why not actually quote from Sheridan's play rather than from Shakespeare, to which Barber's music has no connection? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Just now, Reed said: This doesn’t seem like a finalist show. I’m going to have to give Mandarins the nod here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 "Tell me, ye prim adepts in Scandal's school, Who rail by precept, and detract by rule, Lives there no character, so tried, so known, So deck'd with grace, and so unlike your own, That even you assist her fame to raise, Approve by envy, and by silence praise!"

quietcity Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If I had not seen Mandies first, this would be more impressive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSurfBass Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I was expecting a storyline show like last year, especially with the soundtrack pieces used like Academic Festival Overture (Animal House) and Keating's Triumph (Dead Poet's Society). Maybe some humor or charm that they've brought the last few years. I didn't get anything out of this. This show needs a serious retooling if they want to even be in sniffing distance of Finals.

cadet93 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I just really like Academy's design sensibility. Accessible yet sophisticated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
