The Performance…Tuesday 05/08/08

The day of the Elsternwick Primary School Musical had arrived, everyone was excited and interested to see the performance! The mattonee performance was performed by cast 1 at Elwood College. The stedents had arrived by bus to Elwood Collge ready to perform the final product.

The students firstly went in and had their makeup done and put their costumes on. The mood of everyone was electric! The students seemed very positive that the performance would be a great success.

The performance started roughly after lunch and right from the word go, it was an amazing performance. The students had given it their best and had made Elsternwick Primary School very proud.

The almighty Sultan interview

The Sultan (cast 1) interview took place in the musical room on a cold Winter’s lunch break. We asked him about his thoughts on performance day, his character and rehearsals

Do you think performance day will be enjoyable? And if so, why?

Yes, well, it will be fun and enjoyable.

Are rehearsals fun?

Yes.

What do you like like/dislike about them?

Because you get to see other people perform and it’s exciting.

Sultan – Cast 2:

Is you character like you?

We relate because he’s small, and I’m growing facial hair. So we are exactly the same! (sarcastic tone)

Interview with Jasmine from Cast 1: Tuesday 20th of May, 2008

On a surprisingly sunny Winter’s day, Jasmine from cast 1 was interviewed for her opinions and thoughts about rehearsals, the big day (performance day) and her character.

Do you think performance day will be enjoyable? And if so, why?

YES! I like getting on stage and acting and performing!

Are rehearsals fun?

I always have fun at rehearsals, but sometimes they can be a little repetitive.

What do you like like/dislike about them?

I like working with my friends but sometimes they are repetitive.

Jasmine – Cast 2:

Is your character like you?

In a way …. not really.

This week, cast 1 & 2 of Disney’s Aladdin Jnr rehearsed their lines from scene 7. In this scene, Jasmine and Aladdin are about to be married when Jafar tries to intervene. With the help of Genie, he plans not only to become the new Sultan, but also the most powerful genie of all time. But not everything is as it seems…

So what would it be like to play Jafar in this years musical? We interviewed two students playing the character of Jafar to find out!
