The formality and routine of being in the Navy is what most people yearn for and a reason to be here to give life purpose
The lead males, Luke Baker as Zack Mayo and Paul French as Sid Worley, were brilliantly cast, and the bromance showed!
I could tell Sinead Long has a lot more singing experience for the lead female roles. Her vocals blew me away. I found connecting with Georgias Lennon’s vocals hard, but her acting made up for it.
Jamal Crawford portrayed himself as strong and badass, with a sprinkle of humour, as in the film. Given Louis Gossett Jr., the main Sarg, he would have been proud of Jamal’s performance.
Having a Dream
Watching the relationships blossom between the cast gave the film a more in-depth quality you don’t get from a movie screen.
Hearing about Worley’s dream and wanting to be loved and having that taken away without the option, the news shouldn’t have been given the way it was, and things could have been much different for him and Lynette.
The realization that a scene was coming up gave me knots in my stomach. From how they portrayed it in the film to how it was going to be shown on stage, it was a sensitive subject handled well by the cast.
An old favourite
It’s an old fav growing up watching, and seeing live with music creating the flow, from one part of the story to another.
I would have loved seeing more gritty scenes, especially when the sergeant punishes Mayo. Could you add some rain sounds and make it more muddy, which is one of the iconic bits in the film?
Talking of iconic moments, he picked that girl up in the factory and claimed her! My heart burst, and I could have cried.
The flow and the stage setup worked seamlessly i loved how interchangeable the stage and frames were to utilized. I’m also sure I heard the full commitment of the cast to their roles.
They shaved their hair off!
For me, watching a show live makes you understand the film/ context behind the story
The desire to do and be better as a person
Feeling stuck and the only way out is to find a man who passes the course and gets there wings
Women in the factory don’t have equal rights and are over by men. I prioritised that no matter how long you have been in a position, your disposable
