“Review” Assignment
Due Date: October 16th via email/MS Document
When writing a review, please utilize the following guidelines
regarding content:
1. Attend the final dress rehearsal of the OUMT production of
CABARET. You may attend this
night’s performance for free. If you are unable to attend on
this day, you will be
required to attend one of the performances; ticket price =
$10.00
2. Please write a brief description of the story line (if attending
a play, musical
opera and/or if a choreographed piece merits such a
response).
3. Please indicate if this is a “new work” or a production based
on an established
play, musical, opera, etc. If it is a new work, would more
work/focus on re-
10. writing (cuts, new songs, new lines) be appropriate? IF
THIS IS A REVIVAL
PRODUCTION, please give a very brief history on its
origin.
4. Please write about the following items if pertinent:
A. What style of dance (jazz, ballet, tap, modern,
folk, etc.). Who
choreographed the work?
B. What type of music (jazz, opera, classical,
contemporary, post tonal,
etc., etc.) and who are the composer(s)? Who
was the music
director?
C. If the production contains a script/libretto/spoken
dialogue, what
is it’s style? (similar to modern theatre, classical
theatre, little
dialogue, etc.). Who wrote the script? Who directed the pro-
duction?
D. What did you like most within the aforementioned
areas? Please also
include your thoughts on the set, costume and
lighting design
elements (if a musical, did the music work
seamlessly with
dialogue, etc., etc.).
E. What did you like least? (Could you understand
the actors? Was the
music sung well or danced with accuracy and
grace? Comment
on these areas in both a positive and critical bent
if appropriate).
5. Please allow for up to four to six pages of written review (no
less than 4 FULL pages. Please
11. make sure that the lines are double spaced so that I may
read it more easily and
make corrections/suggestions within that spacing.
6. If you are uncertain on how to write a review, please go to
www.nytimes.com,
following links to the arts/theatre section and read those
written reviews and
utilize that structure and style as a guide for your work.
7. If you utilize any source to discuss an established work’s
performance, please give
the appropriate credit within the review (e.g., “Larry
Stempel, in his book
SHOWTIME, discussed the story line of the Black Crook
as…”).
8. The review is worth 100 points.
9. Additional performance reviews (plays or musicals or operas)
will be given 25 extra
credit points to your overall grade. You may write no more
than two (2) for extra
credit. The first review must be turned in for credit to be
given to additional reviews.
