The curious incident of dog in the night-time this is the first Broadway production I saw, and I was just amazed by the stage and skills! I read both the novel and play version through last summer. However, I have to say that the Broadway version still shocked me in many different ways. As the symple of best theater in the world, Broadway productions always have their own perspective and setting.
When I was reading the novel version, I felt that Mr. Shears is a kind scary character because he was the one yelling and complaining at Christopher, but I in the play he is a funny person, especially when he hands books to Christopher, and he makes those funny sound effects. I also feel that the Christopher in the play is so different from the one I pictured in my head when I was reading the book. I thought he is the kind of boy who is extremely quiet, but on stage he is so loud. I think it is beacuse they need to pass the emotion and craziness to audience.
Another thing and one of the most important thing is stage. I have to say that this stage is the best stage I have ever seen before in my life. The lighting and sounds together picture out an amazing environment for us. When he walks on the wall and jump on the subway rail, I was speechless. The theater technology helps the whole show improve to a whole new level. I never thought that without computer technology a production can bring audience into the story.
The way to deliver a story can be so different from play and novel, and this is also way Broadway can always amaze audience because you cna never predict the setting and character’s development. The curious incident of dog in the night-time is a such big success combine stage technology and character performing.
