Aida Il Musical Opzioni

[veu]

E' previsto un revival del musical Aida che arriverà a Broadway nel 2021.

Dal sito NY Post:

A rumor, but on pretty good authority: Disney Theatrical will launch a national tour of Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Aida” in 2021. Schele Williams, who performed in the original Broadway production, will direct.

“Aida” opened in 2000, won four Tony Awards and ran nearly five years. It never escaped the shadow of “The Lion King,” but the score has worn well. I played the CD yesterday and enjoyed the powerful “Easy as Life,” the snappy “My Strongest Suit” and the lovely duet “Written in the Stars.”

AN AIDA REVIVAL IS COMING

“I love Aida. We’re in the middle of developing Aida. We are going to do a reading very soon. David Henry Hwang is doing some stuff with the script. The director is Schele Williams, who was Nehebka in the original production. We’ve been meeting over the years about lots of things; she’s spectacular. I’ve been talking to [designer] Bob Crowley a lot because we want to keep the essence of what he had created originally, but, of course, for today. These things are all in the cooker.”

Anche a noi piacerebbe una linea sui musical per Disney +... li metteremmo tutti, così si possono vedere. Aida è quello a cui daremo maggior risalto perchè è quello di cui non vi sono altre versioni, animate o live. Anche se dobbiamo dire che se fossimo nella Disney faremmo una versione filmica (non solo teatrale ma proprio a film) per Aida o al cinema o per Disney+.
In ogni caso, speriamo che almeno una versione filmata del musical la facciano uscire.

While Sir Tim doesn’t see socially distance audience restrictions (‘ghastly phrase’) as a solution for the theatre’s comeback, he isn’t placing the blame at the government’s door. ‘One can easily say they haven’t handled it very well, and that’s probably true, but on the other hand, I don’t think anybody else would have handled it better. It’s such an unknown area.

‘Nobody really knows anything and it’s a ghastly situation. But I think at the end of the day, we have to say life is full of risks, and Covid is a nasty virus but then again, there’s a lot of other diseases. People die of different diseases and the Covid virus is probably not that much worse than the average deadly virus – I mean, I don’t know. I get annoyed with the government and all the rules which seem a bit shambolic; on the other hand, I feel sorry for them.’

So until he can get back in a room with his collaborators and bring Aida to Europe, Sir Tim will be using the continuing state of lockdown to walk down memory lane on his podcast – and may also turn to writing volume two of his memoirs while he’s at it.
