the weekend‚ I had no idea what to expect from the musical Chicago. I had never seen the movie‚ or anything related to the musical. I had however been to the city of Chicago‚ although it turns out‚ that wasn’t very useful information preluding the musical.

I learned that musicals‚ and not understanding the arts very well‚ is a great

Analysis: New aesthetic: “The Black Piece” shares the main aesthetic change brought about by post-dramatic theatre which is the loss of representation of reality through mean of narration.

The assumptions this film of High School Musical makes of education or teaching is that they are committed to their extracurricular activities. In the movie made it where if one was into sports and that sports was a big deal and that one could be very passionate about.

Nothing like this has been done before‚ which is why the musical is so groundbreaking. It has inspired
