Bugs Bunny on Broadway · 07/05/08 05:13 PM by Michael Caldwell
My family and I went to see Bugs Bunny on Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl, and I have to say, that was the most entertaining show I have been to in a long time!
I have grown up with Looney Toons. I have probably seen most, if not all, of the Looney Tunes cartoons with Bugs, Daffy, Wile E. Coyote, or the Road Runner. The Looney Toons cartoons have always brilliantly combined classical music with whimsical and funny cartoon scenes. I have always appreciated the ability to envision a piece of music and choreograph a chartoon story to the melody. I think that is what sets the Looney Toons cartoons apart from the rest. I also think it’s a good way to make classical music a part of a child’s life in a way that won’t be boring.
It was amazing to watch these cartoons on the big screen and to hear the live orchestra play. (Without any amplification! Acoustically poifect!) Many times, I even forgot that the music was not prerecorded because it lined up so well with the cartoons. It was just awesome. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
Plus, we got to hear pieces by Rossini, Wagner, and many others. I had a great time, and Highly recommend it to anyone who gets a chance!
