However, it must be said that the Freshman Musical could have benefited from a bit more preparation. Although some of the scenes make decent use of space on the stage (like the scenes in the Delphinian war room and the march to the final battle), other scenes make the actors not only seem stiff and unnatural, but rooted to the same spot. Furthermore, a valiant effort was made to make the singing as good as possible; however, at times, the actors do not harmonize, and at other points are unable to communicate the lyrics well (due to the number of words packed in).
Regardless of its shortcomings, the 2001 Freshman Musical is an optimistic experience. Clearly, creating, writing and producing a musical from scratch is an enormous endeavor; The participants in I Spy deserve praise not only for their part in continuing a first-year tradition, but also for the sheer amount of work and effort they put into production.
