“Limelight”

Last Sunday, I went to see a theater play with music, titled “Limelight”, which is based on the famous movie “Limelight” by Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin. The theater, which has a seating capacity of 600, is located at Hibiya in the center of Tokyo and, it was fully seated that day. The play, which took nearly two hours, was performed by only five actors and three actresses. Other than two main roles, an old comedian and a young ballerina, the six players performed multiple roles respectively. They seemed to be very busy when each scene changed, since they had to change their costumes to perform as a different role. I think this was exact the characteristic of theatrical works and enjoyable to me. The story will be introduced in the next post.


先週の日曜日、チャップリンの名作映画「ライムライト」を題材にした音楽劇「ライムライト」を見に行った。東京の中心日比谷にある600席の劇場は、この日満席だった。2時間近く上演されたこの劇は、わずか8人の俳優(うち女優は3人)で演じられ、主役の年老いたコメディアンと若いバレリーナの2人を除いて、6人の俳優がそれぞれ複数の役を演じていた。場面が変わるたびに衣装を着替えて違う役を演じるので、とても忙しそうだった。思うにこれが演劇作品の特徴で、とても楽しめた。ストーリーについては次回に紹介する。

musical theatreはミュージカルですね?ミュージカルほど歌の比重が重くないので、それとは違うかな。添削ありがとうございました。

お、初めて聞いた。たぶん違いますね。面白そうです。

“Limelight”

Last Sunday, I went to see a theater playerformance with music, titled “Limelight”, which is based on the famous movie “Limelight” by Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin.

Or: I went to see a musical (or play) in the theater, titled...

I didn't know Charlie Chaplin was knighted! As the other reviewer said, the full name is very formal and I've only ever read Charlie Chaplin.

The theater, which has a seating capacity of 600, is located at Hibiya in the center of Tokyo and, it was fully seated, has a seating capacity of 600 and was booked out that day.

I rearranged it to simplify the connection between the ideas. It makes the comma placement easier.

To say a theater is full you can also say, it was a full house, or, it was packed.

The play, which took nearly two hours, was performed by only five actors and three actresses.

Other thanAside from the actors playing the two main roles, an old comedian and a young ballerina, the six playersother six performed multiple roles respectively.

In your original sentence the first half is focused on the role, whereas the second half is focused on the performers. In order to compare them clearly the subject needed to match, which was the goal of this correction.

They seemed to be very busy when each scene changed, since they had to change their costumes to perform asin a different role.

I think this wasis the exact the characteristic of theatrical works andperformance that is most enjoyable to me.

The story will be introduced in the next post.

Unless you're being very formal (for a historical text for example), most people would refer to him as just Charlie Chaplin.

Other than the two main roles, - an old comedian and a young ballerina, - the six playersactors each performed multiple roles respectively.

Even though they're in a play, you wouldn't call them 'players'. Something like 'actors' or 'performers' works better.
