How to Succeed

It was so much fun to be a part of even as audience member! When Daniel Radcliffe first spoke in an American accent I couldn't stop from laughing. Not because it was bad at all, but because it was so strange to see! I enjoyed watching him so much. It wasn't that he was an amazing actor but he was just so interesting to watch- every move, his face, his voice. I could see the fun the actors were having during the performance as their characters. Even though it was a serious historical topic it was a comedy. I loved that the play used this satire to prove the ridiculousness of the 1950s. The musical part was annoying sometimes because sometimes characters seemed different when singing than when acting but it's a musical. Also, the President Biggley played by John Larquette at some points seemed fake- he was sleeping with women cheating on his wife yet he slipped some flamboyant comments and actions. Doing this once or twice is hilarious but as the character developed it kept recurring in awkward moments and in general but the end made the performance seem unreal.

Overall, I definitely would see it again.
