War wages between two countries, because of words and numbers?! Azaz, the king of Dictionopolis thinks that words are more important, while Mathemagician, the king of Digitopolis thinks that numbers are better. The main character Milo, comes to this world in a phantom tollbooth and gets stuck in the middle of this war. With companions and through hardships, he brings peace to these two countries. The Phantom Tollbooth was a musical performed by amateur actors and what I’ll be critiquing on are the set, character, and highlights.

Azaz, the king of Dictionopolis and the Mathemagician, the king of Digitopolis were very good at arguing. The actor that played Milo was a girl, while Milo is a guy but, still she fit very well with his part. Her style of talk, how she acted, and her physical shape fit very well with him. His companion Tock was absolutely fabulous! She acted very excellently by being humorous. Her funny improvs between the scenes kept us entertained when it felt like the scene was dragging on. She made everyone laugh and she made my experience in the musical much more enjoyable.

The highlights were marvelous and the musical was an extraordinary experience. Tock was very humorous, she caught my interest and was my favorite character in the whole musical. At the climax, they had the disco ball on, and so it set a finale atmosphere. They could have improved the services, by handing out programs, schedules, etc. However, because the musical was exceptionable, it made an unforgettable experience for me.

The Phantom Tollbooth was a musical performed by amateur actors and what I critiqued were the set, character, and highlights. Overall the play was great! There wasn’t a satisfying amount of atmosphere created by the sets, but the actors, and how they performed were fantastic. I recommend you to watch the Phantom Tollbooth musical performed by the Bert Bowes Middle
