Two kids meeting for the first time, falling in love, getting married behind their parents back and then killing their self over one another is crazy. I honestly don't believe why this play is so popular. I like how people perform it. It's fun to watch but in reality it's teenage kids who kill themselves over each other just after a couple of weeks of knowing each other. Well that's what happened in Romeo and Juliet. However the way the performance was on that day was different from any I saw before. There was modern music, dancing, and etc. It was fun to watch and I had a lot of favorite parts like in the beginning and one towards the end.
         They had some very entertaining scenes. My personal favorite is when in the beginning it was two people then in the matter of seconds more people started coming out, then more. There was a disagreement between two groups. That started a fight everyone bursts out in a frenzy. There was so much going on I couldn't lock my eyes to any specific character. I liked how they did that in the beginning it started the show with a Big Bang. I was entertained from the jump. That's good because if you start of a play slow, you start to loose the crowd. Another thing they did well  was  how they removed Tibet and Mercutio bodies from the stage. It was smart and creative, they had them stand up be still look like a ghosts, put white cloaks on them, handed then their weapons and they walked of stage. That's a great way to move the bodies off stage. It's also made me feel like I went to their  Funeral.
          I liked how Juliet's parents were a interracial couple and there was a very diverse cast, because I don't really see that in plays. Especially in Romeo and Juliet, when I go to plays most of the cast is caucasian mainly because at that time it was usually them around and big time productions want it to be realistic.
         What really kept me engaged was when they had modern music and dancing during scenes. It was so unexpected and caught me off guard. The reason why I was so caught of gaurd was because I knew some of the songs that were being played, they might've can out couple years ago. You would think if they wanna keep it natural and fresh they would use music during that time. But they just didn't care, and I like that. If some one in the audience is falling asleep or not even paying attention then outta nowhere they start blasting Beyoncé ~ girls run the world, I bet that would catch someone's attention.
         Overall the the play went well. They did a nice job putting it together. If I was the director of the play I would change the whole thing up. I would change the word. I know that it's Shakespeare's history and all. If you think about it, it's for it to change. You think kids are gonna grow up knowing what Shakespeare was saying. I don't even know what he's saying and I'm 17. That's why I was into the play but I felt like I couldn't relate or be engage with what was going on because half of the time I had no clues what they were talking about.
