RAP-punzel Review

RAP-Punzel

On Wednesday the 12th of November, Christ the King school watched a play named RAP-punzel. The play was performed in the school hall by Auckland Playhouse at 11:30am.

An interesting and funny part of the Rap-punzel play was the ‘Land far, far, away’s got talent with X-Factor Idol’. The judge of the show was Simon Cow. The audience laughed so hard at the idea of the actors changing the name of the mean judge, Simon Cowell. The second actor to introduce herself was a girl named Jane. She was Rapunzel, which was the main character of the whole play. A man named Ben was the last person to introduce himself. His main character was Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert was the one that usually had the entertaining parts. When he threw down his horse on the ground and said “There horsie! Make yourself comfortable!” Students laughed because he just chucked his horse down which made a loud bang that echoed loudly in the hall.  Another fun part of the show with Prince Rupert was when Prince Rupert’s pants were drooping while he was rapping. His underwear was showing with a pattern of gold crowns. Once again there was loud laughter, especially made by the junior students at the front. When Rapunzel and Prince Rupert kissed, most of the little children were surprised and disgusted. The older students just thought it was funny.

If you like plays that include lots of funny entertainment, this is the play for you. I recommend this play to a variety of ages. People that are old or young would love this play especially because there is a lot of slapstick humour so that kids can get the joke by the actions of the actor. There is also some sophisticated humour for older kids and some good wordplay. The actors were very convincing, funny and they acted the play really well.
