The broadway shows featured on this blog represent a huge timeline, showing how the performance has changed over time. The singing and the dancing has always been over the top and entertaining, but the style of the performance has developed.
In the older ones, it seems that flashy outfits and performance OR the voice is highlighted. People were either standing still in front of a microphone or dancing with lots of people, depending on the message and tone of the song being performed. In the newer ones, the more modern techniques help tell a story, with the performers wearing fancy outfits, accompanied with live music and overall a better quality performance as technology has also progressed. The songs are recorded and the performances are filmed in better quality.
All of the broadway performances I watched showed how performance has once again shifted from previous historical ages. Now, it's all about the music and dancing, things that we, in today's society, also enjoy compared to the deadly activities people used to watch for fun. The performers show a true range of talent -- their voices, their acting, their dancing -- they can really do it all when it comes to theater, which impresses people.
Broadway is a form of entertainment that continues to live on even today, with people taking pride in the arts and praising those who are talented enough to do the things we can see in all of these broadway clips.
