The spring musical this year, “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812,” was an eventful one. Inspired by Leo Tolstoy’s War & Peace, it was a story about love, manipulation, and trust. There was much to keep up on and many characters involved, but it became a fun watch.
“There were a lot of scenes where the characters let out their emotions, like Sonia and Natasha where they got to yell at each other for their conflicting points of views,” said OH junior Hayden Esborn.
Before opening night, the Standing O Theater Company hosts an in school performance in the auditorium for the student body. During the performance, a plot twist took place.
During the performance, “I went backstage and stepped the wrong way, tripped over 2 chairs and broke my foot, then finished the show,” said OH junior Owen Shatters.
Below is a photo essay portraying the events of the show and characters.
