CELL BLOCK TANGO

I’ll show you one part of my favorite song form CHICAGO.
This song is much better in Movies version than original Broadway version. But any way, this lyric is really funny. I think Rob MARSHALL, director and choreographer of the movie version, is a great person because this song was a little part of the Broadway version. But in the movie, this song is really cool.
In this scene, the six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail song “Why I am here”. The reasons why they are in the Jail are ridiculous.

Liz.
You know how people have these little habits that get you down.
Like Bernie. Bernie liked to chew gum.
No, not chew. Pop.
So, I came home this one day and I am really irritated,
and I’m looking for a little sympathy
and there’s Bernie layin’ on the couch,
drinkin’ a beer and chowin’. No, not chewin’, Poppin’.
So I said to him, I said, “youpop that gum one more time…”
and he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wall and
I fired two warning shots……into his head.

Oh no, just he popped gum!!

CHICAGO

chicago

This year, CHICAGO, Broadway version, came again. This is the third time to play the musical in Japan. The last time was when movie version won the Academy award. At that time, I wanted to see it because the movie was really cool, but I couldn’t find the day I could go. So when I heard that “CHICAGO comes to Japan again” in March, I checked the schedule and decided to go.
At the day, I decided to be all black clothes to enjoy the musical more. I was really excited because I could see the funny story, songs and sexy costume and dance.
The show started at last with the sound of “ALL THAT JAZZ”. Jazz playing member were in the center of the stage (to make more mood of Jazz and 1920’s). Dancers wearing black clinging see-through fabric came out one after another. Do you imagine? Women’s costume is almost under wear; they were really sexy.
I’ll write again.

BLAST!

from sites of Blast!

On August 17, I went to see a BLAST! , 100% entertainment show. The show was a combination of Music (brass instrument and percussion) and Dance performance. The show got Tonny award and Emmy award

When I saw it first time was two years ago in music class in high school. Teacher showed us BLAST’s DVD. I was really amazing! Though I saw through Braun tub, I was excited. Because when I was a junior high school student I belonged to the Brass Band Club and play the Horn, I understood how difficult things they make it. I think it’s a kind of Marching Band, but I don’t want to bring out them; it gets beyond the Marching Band.

The show was really good. Music was of course appeal strongly with plot, dances were beautiful and dynamic and audiences gathered greatly stream. Moreover, members came to audience seats in the show. During recess, percussion’s members went to the lobby and did performances, so people rushed to the lobby when the recess started. Encore was much more great! All members pass through the pathway and reached the lobby (of course all audiences followed along) and Encore was done at the lobby. At there, I could shake a hand with two members.
I was so excited that I made up mind to be a repeater. I will go to see BLAST! next year, again!!
