Erica,
Why were there parts when all the characters looked
directly into the camera and the text was either
above or below them? Were those Mason maxims or
ideals right there? While I did enjoy his Papageno, I
did have serious problems with the acting by other
members of the cast. It wasn't the "natural" acting
that we listers prize so much. He he he. I did think
the spirits in the blimp were so cute and I liked the
little removal of winter clothing in "Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa
Pa Pageno" I didn't like the singers looking directly
into the camera so much and during every musical
interlude, they put an extreme close up on the girl in
the audience. Now that needed to go. Any opinions on
this?
