Start at about 56 seconds in on this one. Unless you really want to watch Lance Bass again.
So we begin with a girl in a red dress. Judging by color scheme, this is Juliet. She's hugging a pillow. All she needs now is a diary and some music blaring in the background and the scene is complete. But the music is all pretty now. She's gonna sing. Joy...
Wait. That's a dude. I'm assuming that's not her voice. Though that would be epic. Nooo, that's extremely-attractive-hair man. Romeo? Please be Romeo.
WHOA WHY IS JULIET FLOATING. Seriously? Where'd that set piece come from? Audience, stop clapping. They haven't done anything yet. Wait...is the whole wall a projection screen? Who's the hologram here?
This is getting cheesy. As I expected. Why is Romeo stalking a couple on the streets? Stop watching them kiss. You're being creepy.
I assume they're talking about wanting to be in love for just one day. That seems to pretty much sum up this song. Is Juliet's bed...floating around? Or is the camera moving? Or is Romeo floating? Who cares. He has pretty hair. He can float around as much as he wants. But notice: does he look like a hologram in the close-ups? No. When they zoom out? He seems to be a projection. I don't know where the set is anymore. Or...what the set is.
ROMEO. THERE'S A GIRL SINGING THE HARMONY OF YOUR WEEPY LOVE-SONG RIGHT ABOVE YOU. LOOK UP MORE. SHE'S RIGHT THERE. *ahem* Anyway...
Aaaand Lance Bass is back. That was abrupt. I didn't even have time to transition out of finally accepting the cheese.
Oh, there's a screen there! That makes sense now. But...why? Lance Bass tells him his mother's looking for him. They walk past each other a bunch. Romeo...disappears into the ether? Wh-...Where'd he-- Never mind. Makes as much sense as anything else.
Thoughts: Kick out Benvolio. This play stars Romeo's hair and Romeo's hair alone. Maybe Escalus. But, Romeo, please stop with the creeping.
