se non fossi stonata come una campana ci proverei come ballerina...però se non erro anche per presentarsi da ballerina bisogna avere un minimo di dote vocale

Piccolo aneddoto su Michelle: quando era di scena con Chicago durante una delle prime repliche si interruppe, svelando anche a chi si era addormentato che cantava in playback, scusandosi con il pubblico di non ricordarsi le parole. Cosa ancora peggiore: il pubblico applaudì.

Personalmente adoro la Cuccarini, ma mi sembra un po' grandicella per fare Belle (mentre è stata fantastica in Sweet Charity)! Io avrei una preferenza netta per il personaggio di Belle: Paola Cortellesi, mentre vedrei di buon occhio Loretta Goggi per Mrs. Bric. Cioè guardate la Cortellesi in questa foto , è praticamente perfetta per il personaggio (e le doti canore le ha dimostrate nell'altrimenti dimenticabilissimo adattamento animato de "Il Re ed Io" (chi sa cantare R&H per me è adattissimo a cantare Menken e Ashman). Per quanto riguarda la Bestia non ho proprio idea. Come lo vedreste un Gianluca Guidi o un Raffaele Paganini nei panni di Lumiere?

Cari Veu, avevo letto anch'io il bando per le audizioni, e personalmente non credo che per la protagonista siano disposti a scegliere una sconosciuta (ormai va di moda far interpretare i protagonisti a gente dello spettacolo per avere sponsorizzazioni), ma questa è una mia impressione, potrei anche sbagliarmi.
E comunque finchè non vedo non credo, io ho detto solo che spero che non facciano cavolate con il casting.

Invece, per rispondere a Giagia, io non vedrei bene nemmeno la Cortellesi, perchè anche se ha delle buone qualità canore (anche se non così eccezionali secondo il mio punto di vista), io non ce la vedo ad interpretare quel ruolo, innanzitutto è un pò in là con l'età e poi non è una ballerina.

Ecco questo fa capire tutto sulla Hunziker... e il pubblico applaudiva solo perché è lei, se fosse stata una sconosciuta immagino le polemiche che sarebbero nate.
Il teatro non fa per lei, punto, che resti in tv

come belle ci vedrei cristina capotondi ma non è nè ballerina nè cantante

matilde brandi non balla male.....

Scusa eh, ma è stata una reazione istintiva...
ho appena detto che ci vorrebbe qualche professionista, qualcuna che sappia ballare, recitare e cantare e tu mi tiri fuori quei nomi?

Ecco qui la trama del musical dal sito ufficiale della Disney sulla Bella e la Bestia (adesso chiuso)... noi l'abbiamo salvata e la mettiamo qui... è in inglese, ma presto la traduciamo e magari la mettiamo nel primo topic... NB: tra parentesi ci sono i titoli delle canzoni...


Act I

Beauty and the Beast Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a YOUNG PRINCE lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is to be found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress.
The Prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous BEAST and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return before the last petal fell, the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a Beast for all time.

In a little town, a quiet provincial village where "every day is like the one before," we meet BELLE, a young woman who lives there with her father. Although Belle is admired by the villagers for her beauty, she is seen as odd and peculiar, ". . . with a dreamy far off look, and her nose stuck in a book, what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle."

Enter GASTON, a handsome, egotistical man who has fallen for Belle. He vows, to Belle's obvious disapproval, that he is going to marry her -- the most beautiful girl in town and the only one worthy of being his wife. So confident is Gaston that Belle will accept his proposal, he sends his flunky Lefou into the woods to capture a deer for the wedding feast. Meanwhile, Belle slips away and goes home to her father, MAURICE, an eccentric inventor.

Maurice is putting the final touches on an invention that he is confident will make his fortune. Sensitive to the looks and comments she endures from the villagers, Belle asks him if he thinks she is odd. Her father assures her that she is not -- after all, she is her mother's daughter, and NO MATTER WHAT, he is on her side. Belle and Maurice
Having finally succeeded in making his invention work, Maurice sets off for the fair, hoping to win first prize, and he takes with him a scarf Belle gives him for good luck. But soon, while lost in the woods, his invention breaks down and wolves begin to chase him. Lost and frightened, he stumbles upon a castle and pounds on the door.

Inside, he discovers to his amazement that the castle is populated with once human ENCHANTED OBJECTS, who, as the Prince's servants, have also been cruelly affected by the beggar woman's spell. LUMIERE, a candelabra, COGSWORTH, a mantle clock, and MRS. POTTS, a teapot, proceed to make Maurice feel welcome and comfortable while at the same time attempting to keep his presence hidden from the castle's master, the Beast.

It doesn't work. The Beast roars into the room and accuses Maurice of wanting to "stare at the Beast." Maurice apologizes, but to no avail. When he claims that all he wanted was a place to stay, the Beast tells him, "I'll give you a place to stay," and throws him in the dungeon.

Belle and Gaston Back in town, having made all the arrangements for his wedding to Belle, Gaston decides it's about time to propose to the lucky bride-to-be. He paints a vivid picture of life married to Belle (ME), but she turns him down flat and Gaston leaves humiliated, now even more determined to have Belle for his wife.

As Lefou shows up looking for Gaston, Belle notices that he is wearing her father's scarf and demands that Lefou tell her where he found it. Lefou confesses that he picked it up in the woods near the crossroads. When he refuses to take Belle there, she goes to look for her father herself.

Belle comes upon the Beast's castle and lets herself in. As she cautiously explores the dark interior, looking for her father, Lumiere and Cogsworth worry that they are losing more and more of their humanity each day, as the terrible spell continues to transform them into objects. But, when they discover Belle's presence, their hopes are ignited as they anticipate she might be the one to help their master break the spell.

Belle finds Maurice locked up in a cell. He urges her to leave, just as the Beast appears. Belle begs the Beast to let her father go, finally offering to become the Beast's prisoner in exchange for her elderly father's freedom. The Beast accepts her offer and makes her promise to stay there forever. He sends Maurice off before father and daughter can say goodbye.

The Beast leads Belle to her new quarters in the castle and tells her that this is now her home. He says she can go anywhere in the castle she likes -- except the West Wing -- and then demands that Belle join him for dinner. As Belle mourns the loss of her father and her freedom (HOME), Mrs. Potts and MADAME DE LA GRANDE BOUCHE, the wardrobe, try to cheer her up.

Meanwhile, at the tavern in town, Gaston is pouting about Belle's rejection. Lefou and some of the villagers remind him how admired he is (GASTON). During the revelry, Maurice arrives, frantic and begging for help to rescue Belle from the Beast. No one takes him seriously, and Gaston has him thrown out. When one of the villagers mentions that "crazy old Maurice, he's always good for a laugh," Gaston hatches a new plot, which he confides to Lefou.

Back at the castle, the Beast anxiously awaits Belle at dinner. But, still angry and upset at her predicament, Belle stays in her room. Furious, the Beast confronts Belle and tries to bully her into joining him, but she remains defiant. He tells her that she is forbidden to eat at all, and storms off to the West Wing. In his quarters, using his magic mirror, the Beast looks in on Belle as she declares to Madame de la Grande Bouche that she wants nothing to do with him. Distraught by her refusal to see him as anything but a monster, the Beast reflects on his past mistakes, asking HOW LONG MUST THIS GO ON? Cogsworth

Feeling hungry, a courageous Belle finds her way to the kitchen, where, despite the Beast's order, Mrs. Potts insists on feeding her. Lumiere declares that with a proper dinner comes a little music and leads the objects in a spectacular floor show for Belle's entertainment (BE OUR GUEST).

Belle is now too excited to sleep, so Cogsworth and Lumiere give her a tour of the castle. Belle slips away from her guides and makes her way to the West Wing, where she discovers the enchanted rose. Just as she is about to touch it, the Beast, frightened at what might happen, bellows at her to stay away. Belle runs out of the castle. The Beast, realizing what he has done, mourns her departure and his own shrinking humanity (IF I CAN'T LOVE HER).

Act II

In the woods, Belle is attacked by ferocious wolves. Just as they surround her, the Beast arrives and drives them away -- but not without being wounded himself. Belle takes him back to the castle and, while she tends to his wounds, Belle and the Beast begin to open up to each other (SOMETHING THERE).

The Beast decides that he wants to give Belle a token of his affection. Remembering her love of books, he leads her to his massive and neglected library, where the two of them spend the day together. Belle suggests that they read "King Arthur" together, but the Beast confesses that he cannot read. Feeling suddenly sympathetic toward him, Belle reads the book aloud to the Beast, giving him a new appreciation for literature.
Obviously starting to warm to the Beast, Belle tells him she would like to make a fresh start and asks him if he would join her for dinner. The servants, having witnessed the invitation, raise their hopes that Belle will help their master finally break the spell and that soon they will also be HUMAN AGAIN.

Meanwhile, Gaston has summoned MONSIEUR D'ARQUE, who runs the local insane asylum. Gaston explains that everyone knows Maurice is a lunatic who should be locked away, especially since his recent ravings about some Beast. Of course, if Belle consents to marry Gaston, Maurice could be freed from the MAISON DES LUNES. Monsieur D'Arque gleefully agrees to help Gaston.

Back at the castle, the Beast realizes that he truly loves Belle, but is afraid to tell her. Lumiere and Cogsworth encourage him to take the chance. However, during their romantic dinner (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST*), the Beast gets cold feet and, instead of telling Belle how he feels, gives her the magic mirror. When Belle asks the mirror to show her Maurice, she discovers that he is alone in the woods and in danger. The Beast tells her she must go to him and insists she take the mirror with her, so that she can always look back.

Belle finds her father and brings him home, only to find D'Arque waiting to take Maurice away. Gaston offers to "clear up this little misunderstanding," if she will agree to marry him. Belle refuses and uses the mirror to prove that her father is not crazy -- she shows everyone that the Beast is real. Sensing a friendship between Belle and this "monster," Gaston whips the townsfolk into a frenzy by convincing them the Beast is a threat who must be destroyed, and leads them on the attack (THE MOB SONG). Belle and Maurice slip away and head toward the castle to help the Beast.

The enchanted objects drive away the invaders, but Gaston finds the heartbroken Beast and attacks him. The Beast doesn't have the heart to fight back -- until he sees that Belle has returned Finale
to him. On the verge of killing Gaston, the Beast's human side triumphs: He sets the cowering bully free and climbs toward Belle. Gaston stabs him in the back, only to be thrown to his own death afterward.

The Beast, dying from his wounds, tells the weeping Belle that he is happy that he at least got to see her one last time. Belle tells him that she loves him, just as the last petal of the rose falls. A strange light fills the stage, and the Beast's body magically rises and spins in the air. As he twirls around, we witness his TRANSFORMATION* into the Prince. The spell has been broken!

All of the servants are now human again, and, as in all good fairy tales, the Prince and his Beauty live happily ever after (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - REPRISE).

ahhahahahaha
beh in effetti sono i primi due nomi che mi sono venuti in mente.....

però la brandi non è male come ballerina.....a cantare non so....
ma tra tutte quelle che ci sono in giro ora è una delle più decenti

Invece sapete chi vedrei bene nel ruolo di Belle?
Renata Fusco, ha già al suo attivo musical di tutto rispetto come Hello Dolly, Cabaret, Grease, A Chorus Line, oltre ad aver dato la voce italiana a Christine nel Fantasma dell'Opera (nel Canto), ha già lavorato in Disney, infatti nella canzone "Vorrei" in Peter Pan 2 c'è la sua voce, e poi è Angelique in "La Bella e la Bestia un magico natale", e nel Re Leone 2 interpreta Kiara.
Per me lei sarebbe perfetta

Infatti, Renata Fusco sarebbe il top! Ma non ci vedrei male neppure Giulia Ottonello, che mi è tanto piaciuta nel doppiaggio di "Come d'incanto".

si anche la Ottonello non sarebbe male, però tra le 2 preferisco la Fusco

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYTiS9hUthg

non c'è male.....per niente male
non ci avevo pensato alla Fusco

adesso che ci penso la cuccarini la stravedo per Lo scopino la fidanzata di Lumiere!!!

la Fusco ha una bellissima voce e la adoro nel fantasma dell'opera! sarebbe la scelta migliore per l'interpretazione di belle!

E' veramente una bellissima notizia per gli amanti di questo classico, come noi tutti...certo però, che se cadono nella tentazione (e temo sarà molto probabile) di ingaggiare attori/attrici capre in questione ma solo perchè famose, temo proprio che deluderà gran parte del pubblico raffinato interessato al settore. Ma tantè, sono sempre i soldi che fanno muovere tutto e la fama a volte conta di più per gli impresari poichè garanzia di successo in molti dei capi dello spettacolo...

aaaa mi sa che michelle unziker ci sarà l'altra settimana a matrix aveva parlato di un futuro musical disney che farà :S

Allora ci sarà Michelle... beh a noi piace...

Alla fine Michelle e' carina e non credo che sia tanto male.
D'altronde usare nomi famosi che hanno gia fatto musical di successo e' una cosa positiva, non vorrei che poi il musical facesse flop, magari se ha successo insominciano ad arrivare anceh gli altri....Ariel, Simba, Mary poppins....

se sarà davvero così non so se mi ispira andare a vedere il musical. è vero che non ho mai visto michelle hunziker recitare in un musical ma perchè proprio lei????? ce ne sono molte altre in giro che potranno essere adatte ad interpretare belle. sarà un metodo per incentivare la gente ad andare a vederlo?

Dopo questo annuncio io evito di andarci ... e non ho parole

infatti.. anche se mi dispiace non andarlo a vedere ora che arriva anche da noi il musical. ma michelle ha stancato, ormai è ovunque.

So che Giulia Ottonello ha partecipato ai provini... sperem!!! Un talento simile merita un tale riconoscimento!

Non sapevamo che la Ottonello avesse partecipato ai provini... speriamo bene...

però a noi la Hunzicker piace e molto!!!!

Detesto con tutto me stesso la Hunziker...per carità è brava, ma ride sempre. Secondo me anche ai funerali quella si fa le risate migliori... Spero per la Ottoniello davvero..
