This document provides instructions for a musical theater analysis assignment. Students are asked to view a filmed stage production of a musical, rather than a movie version, and write a 900-word report analyzing the storytelling, technical elements, and performance techniques. They should pay attention to lighting, scenery, costumes, sound, acting, dancing, and singing. By taking notes on intriguing or confusing aspects, and things that help connect emotionally, students will review their notes to craft a detailed essay reporting on the artistic elements and storytelling of the selected production.

theater writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
You will need to view one filmed musical theatrical production (not a movie musical). This
must be
a musical theatre piece performed on stage before cameras and should not be a Hollywood-
created
retelling or reimagining of a Broadway theatre show. Please consult this list for some
options:

Then, report on the storytelling and artistry of the production. Pay attention, as you observe
the
production, to technical elements (lighting, scenery, properties, costumes, sounds) and
performance
techniques (acting, dancing, singing).
You will need to present a written report of what you learned during your time observing
this
production. Multiple viewings of the piece are encouraged but not required. While viewing,
take notes
on things that intrigue you and/or confuse you. Note things that help you connect
emotionally to the
performance... the lyrics, songs, lighting effects, talents of actors, etc. After viewing the
performance,
review your notes and craft a compelling and detailed essay.
