《汉密尔顿》的传奇一生，让生活在和平年代的我们，对自我价值与理想有了更深一层的理解和认知。这场表演会成为我们这个夏天最美好的回忆。

"Hamilton" helped us gain a deeper understanding of our self-worth and ideals who live in peaceful times. This show will be our fondest memory of the summer.

这场音乐剧的导演、深国预国际音乐中心音乐老师Wendy Moss博士对音乐剧充满热情，她曾与百老汇最佳制片人和导演合作，出演过《悲惨世界》《艾薇塔》《刺客》《友情岁月》《理发师陶德》《音乐之声》和《神秘花园》等。她丰富的专业剧场经历，激发了她和老师、同学们一起在深国预共同创作高质量作品的愿景，她倾其所有，希望通过《汉密尔顿》带给台前幕后的深国预同学们——“我们永远不可能牺牲质量，在任何情况下我们都做到了最好。尽管有诸多障碍，比如疫情、封闭管理、在线课程等，我们仍然义无反顾地通过一切方式反复淬炼、力求完美。我永远不会忘记这支团队，这些演员和这次演出，而这些，将在余生中把我们所有人维系在一起！”

The director of the musical, Dr.Wendy Moss, a music teacher at the SIFC International Music Center, is passionate about musicals. She has worked with the best producers and directors on Broadway, and starred in Les Miserables, Evita, Assassins, Merrily We Roll Along, Sweeney Todd, The Sound of Music, The Secret Garden and so on. Her extensive professional theatre experience has inspired her vision to create high-quality productions with SIFC music department, musical theatre club teachers and students. “I believe that my previous experience working with some of the Best Broadway producers and Directors out there really is something that inspires me in my vision to create quality work with my students! One can never sacrifice quality and Doing the Best you can do in any situation! And this is what the whole Hamilton team has produced—The very best we could do despite COVID-19, lockdowns, online lessons, needing extra rehearsal time, sickness and exhaustion! And the way these brilliant and talented performers came together to perform the hardest show to ever play on Broadway—I felt BLOWN AWAY! I will never forget this Team, these Stars and this Performance! This has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will bind us all together for the rest of our lives!”

毫无疑问，《汉密尔顿》音乐剧演出是成功的，它是深国预演出时长最长且最专业的一场剧场演出，打造了一个前所未有的舞台。这场演出多元融合了古典与嘻哈等音乐风格，同时要求参演学生克服非母语台词与说唱的困难，掌握流行演唱、舞蹈、舞台表演、独白等综合艺术表达。每一个角色的情感、语气、行为和动作都经过了表演者的反复打磨。

There is no doubt that the "Hamilton" musical is a success, it is SIFC's longest and most professional theatrical performance. This performance combines classical and hip-hop and other musical styles, requiring participating students to overcome the difficulties of non-native language lines and rap, and master comprehensive artistic expressions such as popular singing, dancing, and stage performance.

表演当天，我们邀请了全校师生、家长、业界专业音乐老师以及辛辛那提大学音乐学院招生官到场观赏，共同见证了深国预历史性的一刻，一起浸润在深国预音乐剧表演的艺术氛围之中。深国预国际音乐中心主任Winson Gu老师是这场音乐剧音乐制作兼舞蹈编导，他激动地分享道：“公演结束后，我记得我第一句感言是’爽’。它就像我们亲手孕育的‘宝贝’一样，我们想以完美的形式呈现给大家。我们付出的汗水与努力是无可估量的，是特殊的疫情时期最值得骄傲的珍贵回忆。”

On the day of the performance, we invited all the teachers and students, parents, professional music teachers in the industry, and the admissions officer of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music to watch the show, witnessing the historic moment of the pre-Shenzhen state together. Mr. Winson Gu, director of the Shenzhen International Music Center, the music producer and choreographer of the musical, shared excitedly: "After the performance, I remember my first comment was 'cool'. It's like we nurtured it with our own hands. Like the 'baby', we want to present it to everyone in perfect form. The sweat and hard work we put in are immeasurable, and are the proudest and precious memories during the special epidemic period."

汉密尔顿的角色扮演者是G10的Julian Zhang，角色内心的澎湃激情似乎在他的心里扎了根，一时间难以抽离：“演出结束的这一天终究是来了，我们一年以来的努力终于有了回报，面对着台下雷动的掌声，心里五味杂陈：一切都结束了，我感到不舍，也有对团队新篇章的期待与激动，但更多的还是我对演出圆满成功的自豪与狂喜。”

Hamilton's role-player is Julian Zhang of G10, "The day of the show has finally come. Our efforts over the past year have finally paid off. Facing the thunderous applause from the audience, I feel reluctant to part and look forward to the team. I am proud and ecstatic about the success of the show.”

当天的惊喜无疑是美国辛辛那提大学音乐学院招生官的到访。辛辛那提大学的音乐剧专业全美排名第二，是众多音乐生的梦校。招生官在观看完演出后对出演《汉密尔顿》的学生演员表达了高度的赞赏：“深国预的表演者们非常出色，他们具有深厚的音乐功底和能力，我很欣赏他们。” 无疑，招生官此行为同学们申请辛辛那提大学音乐剧专业奠定了良好的基础，让我们一起为同学们加油！

The surprise of the day was the visit of the admissions officer of the University of Cincinnati School of Music.

音乐剧的排练正好赶上了今年深圳疫情最严重的时候，排练遭遇了诸多意料之外的挑战。也正是这样一段特殊的经历，造就了师生之间深厚的情谊。

The rehearsal of the musical just caught up with the worst of the epidemic in Shenzhen this year, and encountered many challenges. Such a special experience has also created a deep friendship between teachers and students.

据Winson Gu老师介绍，居家上网课的这段时期，老师和同学们想尽办法实现远程排练并坚持了下来，虽然是远程排练却从未有人迟到早退。为了实现在居家期间完成合唱，他们采用了独立任务分配式录制、一对一培训以及团体练习等方法让同学们保证排练进度。过程中，同学们可以通过音频成品获得团队各成员的反馈，反复推敲自己在角色表演以及演唱方面的优劣。团队的舞蹈练习像极了一场小型的线上运动会，大家努力跟随Winson老师和舞蹈小队长Charlotte Ni同学的步伐，努力演练。

According to Mr. Winson Gu, during this period of online classes at home, teachers and students tried their best to achieve remote rehearsal. In order to realize the remote chorus, they adopted methods such as task assignment recording, one-on-one training and group practice to ensure the students' progress in rehearsal. The dance practice of the team was like a small online sports meeting. Everyone worked hard to follow Mr. Winson and the dance team leader Charlotte Ni.

“我认为学生们给我最大的惊喜是大家的团结和坚毅的精神！面对疫情管控，学生毕业、学科压力、时间冲突等各类问题，同学们很好地协调了自己的时间表。无论面对多难的舞蹈，多复杂的旋律，多绕口的台词，他们总是能迎难而上。对于我们制作组的老师们来说，这是非常难得的，因为我们从这个学生团体中获得了团结的力量，建立了远大的目标与信念。” Winson Gu老师说到。

"I think the biggest surprise to me from the students is their solidarity and perseverance! Faced with various issues such as epidemic control, student graduation, academic pressure, and time conflicts, the students have coordinated their timetables very well. Faced with how difficult the dance, how complicated the melody, and how many twisted lines, the students can always rise to the challenge. For the teachers of our production team, this is very rare, because we have learned from this student group. Gained the strength of unity and established lofty goals and beliefs.” said Mr. Winson Gu.

无论是演出还是排练的过程，都给同学们带来了极大的启发。Aaron Burr的饰演者Rich Zheng回忆起这段经历时谈到：“每天我都是怀着期待的心情走进排练室的。特别是能见到我的这些朋友们，Christina的一个眼神，Julian和Justin的一句玩笑，Jerry的一句夸赞，Wendy老师的指导等等都能使我非常开心。他们一路激励着我，提醒着我：我们在做一件多么伟大的事业。我们整个剧组的存在就是最有趣的事。”

Both the performance and the rehearsal process have brought great inspiration to the students. Rich Zheng, who played Aaron Burr, recalled the experience: "Every day I walked into the rehearsal room with anticipation. Especially the friends who were able to see me, a look from Christina, Julian and Justin's joke, Jerry's compliment, Dr.Wendy Moss's guidance, etc. can make me very happy. They inspire me along the way and remind me of what a great thing we are doing. Our entire crew is the most important thing. Interesting thing."

他们因为一场演出而结缘，成为了朋友、也成了家人。公演结束后音乐剧社团的老师们为剧组的所有演员举办了庆功宴，同时也为当月生日的师生们举办了盛大的生日派对。这不仅仅是一个演出团队，他们带来了源源不断的惊喜和感动，这些美好回忆，都值得细细品味与珍藏。

They became friends and family because of the show. After the show, Dr.Wendy Moss and Winson Gu organized the cast party for all the students of the crew, they were also celebrating the birthdays of the member whose birthdays are in June. These beautiful memories are worth cherishing.
