Activity #4 Stage Time

Time Stops is this scenes name. This is the scene is when time basically stops for Edward Bloom and Sandra Templeton when they see each other for the first time. For this particular scene there should be two sets of mini bleachers for the full cast to sit on, because we are at a circus like in the movie. The Alabama lambs are doing their number at that moment when Edward first spot Sandra during her act. As the girls act is finished all the girl s start leaving the stage when suddenly there's a blackout. With a backdrop of blue and a silhouette of  cast members the song Time stops starts. When the instrumental of the song comes on  a spot light only on Edward and Sandra hits the stage for a magical moment for both the cast and the audience.



 

Activity # 3 Singing Time

 

My absolute favourite song was Time Stops sung by Edward Bloom and Sandra Templeton. I love this song mostly because of the meaning behind it and the feeling that comes along. This song in particular I feel takes you back to you're most fondest of memories ,maybe even  flashbacks of what it was like when you first saw someone you eventually fell madly in love with.

 When I listen to this song in envision Sandra and Edward in the circus like shown in the movie, then when the song come on everything is blacked out except Sandra and Edward who have a spotlight on them  making it moment only shared between the two because it when 'Time Stops'. The audience will without a doubt fall madly in love with this scene because they will look at this moment and think of when time stopped for them when they first saw their loved one.

My Least favourite song of the bunch was Little Lamb From Alabama, I found it annoying. I don't really see the song fitting into the musical at all, I only see it as a dance number with the music in the background and that's about it. I think to make this song more engaging to the audience and to get them engaged into the musical is for the girls maybe two to four of them going into the crowd and try and get them dancing alongside the girls performing this number.
