Last week I had the opportunity to see Green Day's "American Idiot" on Broadway. Originally, I was not a huge fan of Green Day ... until I saw the performance.
上周我有机会在百老汇观看绿日乐队表演的"美国傻瓜"音乐剧，在观看了这个演出之前......我并非绿日的铁杆粉丝。
While most people last Wednesday night at the St. James Theatre were watching the show and enjoying the performance, I was thinking about how to increase selling intensity. The cast had been performing the exact same show since April 2010 for a total of 326 performances and 26 previews. Almost 400,000 people have seen the musical and paid about $77 per ticket.
当上周三晚大多数人沉浸在圣詹姆士剧院的表演当中时，我开始突发奇想如何将其应用并藉以增加销售的强度。因为该剧组人员从2010年四月份以来已经公演了326次以及试演了26次，差不多40万人购买77美元一张票观看了这出音乐剧。
When I saw the show, it lacked nothing in energy and enthusiasm. How can a cast go out and perform with this same intensity day in and day out, with the same repetition of events and songs? Even a critic with the New York Times, Charles Isherwood, called the show "a pulsating portrait of wasted youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions ... only to transcend them through the power of its music and the artistry of its execution. The show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I've seen on Broadway this season. Or maybe for a few seasons past."
当我观看表演的时候， 整台演出的力量和热情丝毫未减， 不禁让我诧异如何能够使剧组人员日复一日地保持相同的强度和热情表演情节和歌曲完全相同重复的剧目。甚至纽约时报的评论家——查尔斯. 易舍伍将其喻作"waster youth"乐队标准翻版的生动写照......只是在音乐表现力和表演艺术方面实现了超越。这台演出可以说是本季或是以往若干季以来我所看过的最给力、最动人的百老汇音乐剧。
