Target Audience Findings.

To find out what our target audience enjoyed from a musical we set up a face book group with a set of question to see what the findings would be and also so we could incorporate these key points into our own musical. 


These were the questions we asked;
what is your favourite musical, and why? 
What do you expect to happen in a musical?
What do you expect the main character in a musical to look like?
where do you think is the most typical location for a musical to be set?

This is some of the feedback we received; 
Chicago because the story line is very good and the music is catchy and varied. I expect a musical to have a good storyline with a main character that is focused on and a good opening sequence. I expect the main character to be quite pretty as that is just what is usual in musicals. A musical is typically set in either a small place, or somewhere very big (i.e. moulin rouge in Paris)


my favourite musical would have to be hairspray as i saw it live on stage and it made me smile ear to ear the whole way through! I expect a musical to incorporate catchy songs that appeal to a wide audience and it has effect you in some way. The main character could go both ways; either they look amazing and is very popular or they could be an average joe and the down to earth character the audience can sympathise with. musical-set in the streets of a city! 


grease absolute classic! everybody loves it.
expect lovee romance.. hgeart break the usual crap ;)
3) lads have to be beautifulllllllllllllllllll girls pretty.
4- school scene. social network usually the bases of it.


Les Miserables because the music is really good and it tells an important story(ish). I expect a musical to contain drama throughout and somewhere in the plot there should be a pivotal scene to create more action/drama and lead the plot to an end. The main character is usually good looking so the audience will focus on them more. Typical location would be around a town/place of importance for the characters.




From this feedback we decided that the music would be a big feature in our title sequence and that the music had to be fun, upbeat and catchy.
the main characters would have to be good looking characters that stood out and made an impact on the audience so that they were memorable so looked out for people like this while we were casting.
