Reaching out to you

Morning all

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling like they are all heading in some sort of direction with lines of inquiry. I would like to ask you all to assist me with the following question:

Depending on your background, whether you are a performer or not; what makes a show successful and entertaining for you?

Hope you can all post your comments below, just a quick answer from my part:
for me, a successful show is about diversity on stage, a sense of real individual passion from every performer. It is an artist who gives 100% of themselves to the audience. Even though i specialise in dance, I have complete and utter respect and time for any sort of performer who possesses an outstanding quality. An example in my work placement here onboard the cruise ship is that we have a fiddle player which does a solo set mid show, he blows the audience away each time, has them under a spell, gets them up on their feet with a standing ovation, he steals the show every time, and although i feel i will be working 3 times harder and shown a lot more on stage throughout the show, i have utter respect for him, he works the audience and he transforms them. Another example within my work place, is our dance captain Collin, he does a small solo which is really cultured at the beginning of a number, he is south african and his body relinquishes this soul and passionate culture. Its fabulous to watch and is rooted within him.

Whats your answers?
