The Phantom Tollbooth

I went to see this on Friday but I heard it was funnier on Saturday since the cast improved some of it. Not that it's that important, so anyways, the play was cute. I didn't really have a favorite character for this which depressed me a bit since I love choosing a favorite character for some reason. It gives me something to look forward to, I guess. The only thing that really creeped me out was when they walked off stage and would stare RIGHT AT SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE. Especially the Watch-Dog. I sat in the second row and it happened twice. I was pretty scared, like seriously. I had no idea what to do and when the Discord guy said,"Have YOU ever heard the sound of an ant tap-dancing?" or something like that, I had no idea what to say. So I just sat there really quietly and waited for him to go away. I guess I would be really bad at any of Boal's productions. Useless audience member. I loved how the Mathemagician and the person with the words (forgot her name) looked like each other. It doesn't really have anything to do with anything but that was pretty awesome. I kind of stopped understanding stuff at the end when they almost reached the two princesses. The ghoul things or whatever, I got them completely mixed together and all the running around didn't really help anything. Maybe I was just tired. After watching this though, I finally realize how much it takes to put on a production. It seems like everyone had to rehearse forever. Some people had like three or four characters and the amount of work and costuming and everything put into this is mind-blowing. I don't think I've ever worked that hard on anything before in my life. This is pretty motivating.
