The Count of Monte Cristo is the story of Edmund Dantes. He is a privileged young man who has just become captain of a ship, and gets to marry his dream girl Mercedes. Dantes friends are jealous of him, so they want to do away with him. They frame him for a crime because Dantes possesses a letter from Napoleon. Dantes goes to jail for years, and finally escapes with the help of Abbe Faria. Abbe tells Dantes about an island that has a treasure. Dantes goes and finds the treasure and reinvents himself as The Count of Monte Cristo. He goes and gets revenge on his friends and finds out he has a son!
I really liked the three villains of the story. My favorite though was the one who wanted to be captain of the ship. I can’t remember his name. He was awesome! I loved his character. He just stood out onstage. I also really liked Dantes played by Preston Yates. He did an awesome job! He was very convincing, and had an amazing singing voice. I also really enjoyed the performance of the three lady pirates. Lauren Hughes did amazing! I loved her song, and she really shined onstage.
I really liked the set, and the animations used! Sometimes though the animations didn’t match up with the set, but I really liked the use of them. I thought it was very creative. The costumes were all amazing too. I though the use of costumes with the three villains was great. You could tell that they were of different positions and classes. I also really liked the music. I had a hard time understanding the words at some points, but I thought that was a sound issue. I really liked the music though. I loved the variety of songs in the show.
I really liked this show! I thought it was awesome!! I would highly recommend it, the story was a little hard to follow at some parts, but I still really enjoyed it. My only this is that it kind of reminds me of Les Mis with the guy going to jail and then reinventing himself.
