Describe Experience of Seeing Babes in Toyland

I feel that seeing the play Babes in Toyland made me realize that not all plays or other performances are what you may expect them to be. The actors did a great job in showing emotion and dedication towards the performance, but I feel that the story behind the performance wasn't portrayed enough.Maybe it was because the writer did not really study the story behind it enough to realize what it really should have been like. I feel that it could have been researched a lot more than what it was. The directing seemed pretty good because the play did have a lot of unity to it and the show moved along pretty well in the terms of pace and rhythm. I really don't feel that the design elements contributed a whole lot to that unityof the play because I feel they could have been a lot more detailed and eye catching like in the movie Babes in Toyland. I think that the costumes were very nice and represented the characters well but the props were the weak point in the design area. Overall the piece taught me not to go in with really high expectations because you could be highly disappointed. I mean I understood completely that I was goign to watcha college-level performance and so I knew that it would not be perfect, but I expected it to be a lot better than what it really was.
