My Director View

As a director, I would stage City of Stars in the black box, where the actor is the only one on stage. The actor would pretend she is outside at night, with a spotlight on her. She is somewhere silent in a small town in front of a fancy restaurant. It would also be drizzling and she would be talking to the sky. By the end of the scene, in front of the restaurant there is a bench and she sits down very slowly, and then has her head down.
