Real [Stupid] Magic



Our first show in English. Cool. Time to relax and enjoy. HAU2 is a special venue. I love spaces that can be converted and used for all kinds of events. I also really enjoyed their bar and patio outside while gazing at their visually appealing advertisements. It was shaping up to be a lovely evening.
Then the show started.
Cue annoyance.

I can handle this. I Can Handle This. I. Can. Handle. This. I CAN HANDLE THIS. ICANHANDLETHISSSSSSSS.

"Erin, what time is it?"

"Erin, what time is it now?"

Well done actors of Real Magic. How do you not pull your hair out? I think I know what is is you're trying to achieve. I'm on to your game. - And I'm not just talking about the SNL-like game show skit either. By the third round of swapping roles on stage it was obvious that this will be all it is. Again, actors - I applaud you wholeheartedly. I appreciate you and what you're doing but I sure as hell hope I never have to sit through those sound cues ever again. That is what got me. The sporadic, Purposely ill-placed timings and levels of the most annoying game show tracks ever recorded...

I'm glad I saw it. I'm glad I never have to see it again.
I'd rather watch Saw. (And that's gross.)
