While exploring the blog, I discovered a show I had no idea was made into a musical: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This was one of my favorite books and movies when I was younger, and just from the trailer found on the blog, I feel as if I would love the musical as well. Shows with a child playing the lead are always more interesting to me and more likely to get my attention. It is incredible to see talent in someone so young, and refreshing compared to the adult actors who have had many more years of experience. Most Broadway shows do not catch my attention, and the ones that do are usually ones someone else has to force me to watch. Even though I have loved every show I've seen (either in a movie adaptation or live), I never seem to want to explore a show by myself. However, due to the comments on the Stage Door blog about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I may further dive into that show. The only time I explored any show by myself was when I discovered an adaptation of Spring Awakening that was on Broadway in late 2015. This production was done by Deaf West Theater, and featured Deaf actors and American Sign Language. I was so intrigued to how that show was put on that I found a bootleg version of the show to watch, and instantly fell in love and began learning ASL myself. Broadway shows can have a powerful impact on people and this fact was reestablished to me while going through the Stage Door blog.
DISCO: One group I would add to this category is KC and the Sunshine Band. They were a large part of disco. They did not use technology in their songs, and it does not appear they do in their performances, other than a little editing of their videos. KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND BOOGIE SHOES PUNK: One group I would add to this list is Green Day. They have been making music since 1986 and utilize technology with the usage of recording electric instruments, but not much else with the music itself. They use technology during their concerts tossed live edited video onto the screens behind them. GREEN DAY JESUS OF SUBRUBIA LIVE NINETIES: Oasis is the group I would add to this category with their very well known song "Wonderwall". The song was released in 1995 and did not use much technology for the song. They are seen as one of the biggest bands of the 90s and have influenced lots of British music and culture to follow. They utilized technology in videos like that for Wonde
