Angel de Quinta’s STAGE DOOR Blog

I really liked watching the clips from "The Color Purple".  They did a really good job with costumes when they made certain characters stand out with flashier clothes and others with neutral plain colors. I think this was done to emphasis a character more in a scene than others while performing a musical number. The music was very soulful and had a specific message.  I really wanted to listen to what they were saying and not just listen to music itself. 

Then there was watching Liza Minelli at the Tony Awards in 1978.  She wore a really flashy outfit along with her backup dancers.  She threw in some tap dancing and was very charismatic.  She really had fun with the performance and looked like she was having a lot of fun.  The dance was very well synchronized, everyone moved really well together.

The scene from Grease was fun to watch.  They did a really good job with costume design.  All the guys were wearing leather jackets and had slick back hair with a lot of hair spray and the women had really puffed up and teased hair with some kind of pink accent with all of them. The stage was set with a couple of rows of bar rails with stools with one elevated higher than the other, and they danced on those while performing

There were many different types of performance on the sight from a full stage of performers to one person standing up on a stage and singing along to an orchestra.  I enjoyed watching some of the clips.
