Overview:

You are required to attend the musical, Urinetown and write a critical performance analysis response. The focus of the paper will be on the acting. You will choose one to three performances to focus on. Think about the following:

1. Is the actor's performance as a character believable?
2. Is the performance compelling?
3. Does the actor have the necessary skills to deliver a competent performance? Musicals require a different set of skills than a straight play. The type of theatre space will require different demands on the actor.
4. How does the actor connect with the other characters in the play or musical?

• Remember that all of the actors in this production are students and are at different levels of their training (like you!). Be respectful.

In your review, you should use the language learned in class and the textbook. Some examples are the difference between "actor" and "character" in addition to appropriate descriptive language specific to acting.
