Attended the school performance of "The Ballad of Mu Lan" today. Very awesome performance by a truly versatile cast of (4) plus their music director. A funny, heartwarming story about the value of each individual and the importance of working together for a common goal. New music features make this show worth the revisit, enhanced by talented actors with strong range from drama through comedy. In addition to range, the actors engage in fairly physical choreography while singing and delivering lines. Soundtrack and sound effects add to the emphasis, creating a wonderful menagerie of entertainment.
The post show, the cast assembles on-stage to deliver one final message sponsored by the Hawaii State Department of Health. The "dao of NOW" is a catchy diddy crafted to help young students remember the fundamentals of disaster preparedness.
Total show running time: 60 minutes. Both school and public performances available. The Tenney Theatre is quaint, well-maintained theatre for small to medium sized audiences. Free parking on the ground during public performances. Street parking close by during school performances. Parking meters are $1.50 per hour.
