Debutterà a New York il 31 agosto 2019 il musical Hercules, ispirato all'omonimo film d'animazione.
* Le musiche e canzoni saranno sempre di Alan Menken e David Zippel. * Per il ruolo di Ercole si pensa ad un attore di colore. * Al momento come per il Gobbo di Notre Dame non è previsto uno spettacolo a Broadway. Potrebbe però arrivare. Anche Aladdin, ad esempio, non è nato come musical per Broadway ma dato il successo è poi stato portato. * Le ultime notizie indicano Jelani Alladin (che interpreta Kristoff in Frozen, il musical di Broadway) e Ashley Park sono in lizza per i ruoli di Ercole e Megara. Dal sito D23: HERCULES STAGE MUSICAL COMING TO NEW YORK CITY THIS SUMMER This summer, Hercules will once again go the distance—but this time, our hero will go from Mount Olympus to New York City! Today, The Public Theater announced it is bringing Hercules to the stage, continuing its 57-year tradition of offering free performances in Central Park. Part of Shakespeare in the Park, Public Works’ new adaptation will close out the 2019 season. The stage show, presented by special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher, will feature songs from the beloved animated classic, as well as new musical numbers by Disney Legend Alan Menken and David Zippel; it will also include a new book by Kristoffer Diaz and original choreography by Chase Brock. Directed by Public Works Founder Lear deBessonet, the Hercules musical will run August 31 through September 8. “We are thrilled to welcome Lear deBessonet back at the helm of our Public Works initiative for the first time since 2015,” said Oskar Eustis, artistic director, The Public Theater. “Alan Menken is one of the great musical geniuses of our time; it is an honor to welcome him, David Zippel, and Kristoffer Diaz to the Delacorte. Our Public Works community promises to connect this brilliantly conceived story back to the earth from which it sprang: the people. What a grand and unlikely experience this will be!” “Many generations of our Public Works families have embraced Disney musicals as a shared American canon,” said deBessonet. “Hercules’ roots in Greek mythology, infused with soulful gospel music, make it a natural extension of Public Works’ radical exploration of humanity through Shakespeare and the classics. We’re excited to see how this Public Works production will uncover the deeper meaning of what it means to be a hero and how true strength is derived, not from the greatness of one person, but the transformative power of community.” Based on Disney’s Oscar®-nominated 1997 film, directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the stage production has also recruited scenic designer Dane Laffrey; costume designer Andrea Hood; lighting designer Tyler Micoleau; sound designers Kai Harada and Jessica Paz; wigs, hair, and makeup designer Cookie Jordan; and music arranger and supervisor Michael Kosarin.

Public Theater Will Stage HERCULES at the Delacorte Theatre This Summer Hercules is about to go from zero to hero of your 2019. BroadwayWorld has just learned that The Public Theater will present a stage adaptation of the Disney classic this summer at the Delacorte Theatre. The musical, which features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel and a book by Kristoffer Diaz, will be directed by Lear deBessonet and choreographed by Chase Brock. The Public Works production is set to begin performances on August 30 and will run through September 8. A reading is set to take place this April. According to a casting notice, the role of Hercules will be played by an African American actor. Hercules is a 1997 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures. The 35th Disney animated feature film and the eighth animated film produced during the Disney Renaissance, the film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. The film is loosely based on the legendary hero Heracles (known in the film by his Roman name, Hercules), the son of Zeus, in Greek mythology. Hercules was released on June 27, 1997 to positive reviews from film reviewers who praised James Woods's portrayal of Hades. Despite the positive critical reception, the film under-performed in its theatrical release notably in comparison to its predecessors before ultimately earning $252.7 million in box office revenue worldwide. Hercules was later followed by the direct-to-video prequel Hercules: Zero to Hero, which served as the pilot to Hercules: The Animated Series, a syndicated Disney TV series focusing on Hercules during his time at the Prometheus academy. PUBLIC WORKS is a major initiative of The Public Theater that seeks to engage the people of New York by making them creators and not just spectators. Working with community partner organizations in all five boroughs, Public Works invites members of diverse communities to participate in theater workshops, to attend classes, to attend productions, and to become involved in the daily life of The Public. Founded by Resident Director Lear deBessonet, Public Works deliberately blurs the line between professional artists and community members, creating theater that is not only for the people, but by and of the people as well.

Teniamo conto però che a Broadway i twist razziali ci sono sempre stati... è diverso dai film al cinema. A teatro c'è sempre stata una componente nera anche per i personaggi bianchi (o viceversa). A teatro non conta l'attore ma il personaggio che interpreta o meglio l'idea del personaggio che interpreta.
è tutto molto diverso dal cinema. Comunque anche noi abbiamo trovato molto povera la messa in scena, anche se c'è da dire che il musical ha riscosso successo . Certo a Broadway sarebbe molto più curato (a meno che non usano lo stile minimal già adottato per Aida, ma non crediamo) |

Certo a Broadway sarebbe molto più curato (a meno che non usano lo stile minimal già adottato per Aida, ma non crediamo) si lo so, a teatro la gestione dei casting e' diversa e spesso si ricorre perfino alle audizioni al buio ma continuo a credere che bisogna essere piu' fedele cmq al personaggio che si sta impersonando se ha gia' un look preciso. cmq boh... lo trovo scialbissimo questo hercules, quando poi il classico ha una ricchezza cromatica e ricerca stilistica molto inetressante |
