Noises Off

Attended the 3rd performance of Noises Off last night with friends. It was absolutely amazing! Now keep in mind that I've already seen the set, seen a preview, and practically have known the cast for a while now, but I still felt surprised throughout the show. From the preview you never would have guessed the belly laughs that come out of you practically every second. My personal favorite was the 2nd act during which the show within the show, Nothing On, was being performed to the back of the stage while the audience saw everything happening behind stage. Though there was no actual speaking behind-the-scenes, the physical comedy, pantomiming, and general chaos just made everything so hilarious. The pace slowed down a bit during the 3rd act, but was still just as funny. I talked with a few of the ushers during intermission, and though they've seen the show three times they still can't help but laugh. During every intermission the set was also flipped around as my teacher had previously told us in class, but never had we actually seen it happen. It was like a symphony with all the stage hands choreographed into moving that monolithic set. By far it was the best fall production ever!
