Hairspray--Grand English Drama of DFLL

After 8 months of practicing and hard-work, the yearly big deal—Grand English Drama, HAIRSPRAY, goes on the stage!!
…Okay, I know it was almost a month ago…Anyways, the Grand English Drama is the tradition of Department of Foreign Language and Literature, and has won compliments among the other universities. The shows are Broadway-styled, with songs and dances accompany the lines. It’s been 25 tiring yet glorious years for the directing professor Chong Ging-tong, who is our Listening teacher as well.
This year the senior students of our department prepared the famous musical “Hairspray,” which had just been made into a movie these years, also a play I like very much. Me and my friends served as the staffs in the theatre during the two days of performance, and it was our pleasure to be included into the show!

We watch the show for the very first time in the theatre, just like the other audience. The performance was so exciting that we, the staffs, could hardly sit still in our seats! We kept yelling and applauding with a hall of audience because they are just amazing! I can’t explain how grandeur, how spectacular or how professional their performance was—and too bad it didn’t allow pictures taken during the show—because the magic of the stage design, the dances, even the live music played by the students from Department of Music, cannot be described clearly through my humble words. I love the design of “I Can Hear the Bells” the most, in which Link—the main actor—act like a doll controlled by Tracy. It was so creative and extremely cute! The black man Seaweed sang terrific and his dance were simply awesome!
All I can tell you is, the songs were great, the dances were perfect, and our friend Chiquita looked exactly like her role “Little Inez.” After watching the show, I couldn’t stop singing for days; I’m still singing even now when I’m writing about it! I hope we can have a chance like them as well when we turned the second grade. I heard that our Listening teacher thought about retiring, ohhh, that would be a great loss! (Proffessor! Don’t go! I really love singing…and dancing, too…oh, and acting….)
