点评:I went to see the Fairytale of New York yesterday. What a contrast to the advertised trailer! Low budget screams from the set and costumes . I almost feel that I have been a victim of false advertising. The 3 male actors/singers/musicians do a great job with audience participation. The lead female has a lovely voice, but my goodness #2 could shatter glass. In total, we saw 9 people on stage, and the wardrobe changes must have been frantic. The irish dancing certainly isn't as professional as one would hope, but then this isn't Michael Flatley budget! The story was a confusing mish mash of the usual sentiment attached to Christmas which abruptly stops/starts, and the audience starts to question if they should have just gone to the local Irish Bar on a saturday night. Not enough to grasp youngsters' attention but not quite appealing too adults unless they had enjoyed the bar! Some people did not return to their seats after the interval.
I am sorry this was a poor show for me, but I don't dispute it may suit other people. Just don't go expecting to see anything remotely resembling the trailer !
The theatre itself is a little tired but clean and the staff were all helpful. Not particularly comfortable but a good seat with an uninterrupted view of the stage. Toilets are accessible and clean.
翻译:昨天我去看了《纽约童话》。与广告宣传的预告片形成了鲜明对比!布景和服装都表明预算很低。我几乎觉得自己成了虚假广告的受害者。3 位男演员/歌手/音乐家在观众参与方面做得很好。女主角的声音很动听,但天哪,2 号的声音能震碎玻璃。总共有 9 个人在舞台上表演,服装的更换一定很疯狂。爱尔兰舞蹈当然不像人们希望的那样专业,但这不是迈克尔·弗莱特利的预算!这个故事是圣诞节常见的情绪的混乱组合,突然停止/开始,观众开始质疑他们是否应该在周六晚上去当地的爱尔兰酒吧。这不足以吸引年轻人的注意力,但对成年人来说也不太有吸引力,除非他们喜欢酒吧!有些人在中场休息后没有回到座位上。
很抱歉,这场演出对我来说很差劲,但我不否认它可能会适合其他人。只是不要指望能看到任何与预告片相似的东西!
剧院本身有点破旧,但很干净,工作人员都很乐于助人。不是特别舒适,但座位很好,可以一览无余地看到舞台。厕所很方便,也很干净。
