Ok before I start ITS A PEACEFUL REVIEW! I would like to say that this review is meant for the purpose to review a show that I was originally in but had to leave due to the fact the The Shel Silverstein play is the same nights as the 2nd weekend of the show. I will only be criticing the show itself not the cast! Also if anyone thinks that this is mean or snobby in anyway I would like to say anyone can be a critic its creative writing and if you can’t take what is said then this business isn’t right for you, all i can say atleast i went to the show and i sat throught is even though it was raining and on homecoming night. Haha thats all for that.
This past weekend was the opening weekend of the Twilight Theaters Production Irving Berlins Annie Get Your Gun. Ok would like to say I applaude Twiligh Theatre for doing a work of Irving Berlin hard music I know i was in the show for about a month of musical rehearsals before i had to drop out.
I’d like say again this is a production review not a cast review!
Yes, I am keeping in mind that this is a community theater production so nothing perfect is expected 
.
Here we go, The show which took the stage at the Fred Amplitheatre in Peachtree City was good, there were parts i enjoyed and parts i wasnt to hot about. Lets start at the Overture, we all know that for most old musicals its common that the Overture is really long! Annie get your gun is no exception. Played amazingly by the very gifted Peachtree Wind Ensemble. But the only thing that threw me off was the cast coming out within 30 seconds of the 5 minute overture and freezing in the the table section of the theater with the lead male in the audience. Ok really cool everyone knows i love shows that the audience gets to be apart of and interacted with but for 4 minutes i the rain waiting to see if something was going to happen a trick or two. But i will say very clever on the directors behalf just wish they didn’t stand there for 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
Throughout the rest of the show I will say this is the first time since the Les Mis weeding dance that the choreography was really fun to watch and the cast was having fun doing it 2 thumbs up to Kathy Senger of the PTC school of Dance!
Lets talk costumes: Clever, you must do what you can with a modest budget, I will say i loved the costume one cowboy was wearing it looked real and he was pulling it off. But there were other costumes when i said umm okay again money is tight take what you can. The only costumes i didn’t like were the can can girls i thought there Skirts were awesome but they just wore black tank tops for a top and i was like um ok a skirt with color and a top that says blank tank top? But wow can those girls dance!
the singing was very good parts of the shows like every community theater show including shows i’ve been in there are those songs that are just like so evil to the cast that you really wish that you had more time with the real life band
the only thing missing from community theater shows is a Sitzprobe (german for sitting rehearsal) I’ve only done 2 in my life one wit hthe Les mis Henry Players production and Grease with SMHS, i’ll tell you what wow do they help, its when the cast gets with the band and mikes are set up and they SING through the whole show, no acting no costumes just bodys and music. Its helps you to learn how it sounds within a week or 2 of the show and it helps the Band director to figure out parts that the cast and band arn’t blending well together on.
Overall annie get your gun was a ok show with a good cast and interesting set and ok costumes and a good dances (good work cast i enjoyed the dancing)
p.s anyone else catch that using playbill on the cover of the program is a violation of Copyright law for Playbill? I would change it for the next show, playbill ain’t a company to mess with 
Thank you for reading and i say if you want to go see the show and see what you think. remember a OPINION IS A OPINION
