Ecco un articolo interessante:

Dal sito TheatreFan:

ELTON JOHN & TIM RICE’S AIDA REVIVAL WEST END PLANS REVEALED

There are plans to bring the new revival of Elton John & Tim Rice’s Aida to the West End, it has been revealed.

Seth Rudetsky recently interviewed Schele Williams, for his Stars In The House online series, who starred in the original Broadway production of Aida and is now set to direct the upcoming revival.

Williams gave an update on the highly anticipated revival to Rudetsky, who states in an article for Playbill: “The new Aida was supposed to start at Paper Mill, then do a national tour, and then go to Germany (and hopefully Broadway and the West End). Because of COVID-19, the first two places are out so they’re aiming to premier in Germany.”

Winner of four 2000 Tony Awards, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is an epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal, chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the soldier they both love.

This is super exciting news because Aida has never been staged professionally in London or elsewhere in the UK. So I’m glad that we might finally get the chance to see this amazing show in the West End.

Fingers crossed! ! !

UPDATE – Sir Tim Rice confirmed London plans.


Tim Rice@SirTimRice:

Working on podcast number 8 which will feature Aida: musical with Sir Elton for which there are London plans via Europe in 18 months time if all is well. @heatherheadley

Dal sito DeadLine:

‘Superstar’ Lyricist Tim Rice Ponders His Career, Theater’s Future, Live Action Remakes & Technicolor Dreamcoats – Deadline Q&A

Sir Tim Rice has written lyrics for some of the most beloved and successful musicals of the past century, from Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Chess, Evita, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, but these days he’s doing a lot of talking. Like everyone else in the theater industry (or any industry, for that matter), Rice has a bit more time on his hands these days, and he’s using some of it to revisit his long career and many collaborations in a witty and addictive new podcast.

Get Onto My Cloud, on the Broadway Podcast Network, finds Rice in a warm and chatty mood, regaling listeners with anecdotes from his career, his collaborations with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (Superstar, Dreamcoat, Evita, et.al.), Elton John (The Lion King, Aida), Alan Menken (Aladdin, 2017’s live-action Beauty and the Beast), ABBA’s Bjorn and Benny (Chess), and Freddie Mercury (on the Queen frontman’s 1988 solo album Barcelona).

[...]

DEADLINE: What were you working on when the pandemic hit?

RICE: Just before lockdown I almost literally had my bags packed to go to New York, because we had been starting pretty thorough work on redoing and relaunching Aida through an American tour and through Germany and then into London, because Aida, which did pretty well on Broadway, has never yet been to London. And we were contemplating new material. We wouldn’t have needed a lot in the song department, but a few changes here and there. It was really something I was looking forward too, but that’s been put on hold, so goodness knows when we’ll get back to Aida. And I was also working on a revamping of From Here to Eternity, a show that ran in London four or five years ago. It got very nice reviews, but didn’t do very well commercially, so we were in the process of investigating a US tour, and also a UK tour, which I think would’ve gone on, without any doubt.

[...]

DEADLINE: Are you still in touch with collaborators and producers during the pandemic?

RICE: We’re still in touch, but in practical terms there’s not much we can do. And in the case of Aida, Elton’s farewell world concert tour has been completely hit on the head, and I’m sure he’ll resume it but now all the [Aida] dates for 2021 will be 2022 or even later.

Also for From Here to Eternity, which I mentioned earlier, we’ve been having conversations with English producers and our American producers quite regularly, and we’re slightly marking time now. We can’t just say, “Let’s start rehearsals in March” because we might not be able to. We think it is basically ready to go into preproduction, but half the point of preproduction is to find out what’s wrong with it and you can’t really find out what’s wrong with it before you go into preproduction. So, not a lot is happening, but anything that was seriously considered before the lockdown is still being seriously considered.

Dal sito Hollywood Life:

Adam Pascal Discusses ‘More Realistic’‘Aida’ Revival & Reveals His ‘Joy’ ToReturn To Broadway Stage

The cast of ‘Aida’ will be reuniting on Seth Rudetsky’s ‘Stars In The House’ on June 5th. Broadway star Adam Pascal spoke to HL about the upcoming revival.

This reunion was certainly written in the stars! The Tony Award-winning cast of the ’00 Broadway show Aida will join Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley on their “Stars In The House” livestream show June 5th. Heather Headley (Aida), Sherie Rene Scott (Amneris), Adam Pascal (Radames), John Hickok (Zoser), Tyrees Allen (Amonasro), Dan Oreskes (Pharoah), and Schele Williams (Nehebka) will all be present to discuss the epic love story that was told on the stage from 2000 to 2004, with a stunning soundtrack by Tim Rice and Elton John. Adam, who is widely known for his performance as Roger Davis in Rent, spoke to HollywoodLife.com about Schele Williams’ upcoming revival of Aida, as well as his return to the stage as the Broadway doors prepare to open.

While we’re all hoping Adam and his easily recognizable, striking vocals will return as Radames, he admitted that won’t be happening — for a few different reasons. “I’m definitely too old,” he laughed, “However, I would totally come back and play Zoser, Radames’ father. But I think, it is my understanding from Shele, that the revival will star an entirely ethnic cast.” Aida tells the story of a forbidden love between Aida, an Ethiopian princess held captive in Egypt, and the Egyptian General, Radames.

“My understanding is that this revival is going to be much more historically accurate to the times and the actual people who lived there, who were all shades of brown,” Adam explained. “So, I don’t necessarily belong in this new world.” While we may not see him in the Aida revival, the Tony-nominated actor does have his eyes set for the stage as the Broadway doors prepare to reopen this September.

“Our industry was affected like no other. During the pandemic, there were only a few months where there were no TV and film productions going on, but there were still things happening. We shut down 100% and had no idea when this was going to end or how it was going to end,” Adam said. This won’t be the first time her has returned to the stage and had a “rise from the ashes” moment. “I remember the first show back after 9/11, I was in Aida and it was Idina Menzel‘s first performance, and I mean, my first performance of Rent after Jonathan [Larson] died — there have been incredibly moving and difficult times I’ve had to come back and be on stage,” he said. “This one will be incredible and there’s nothing bittersweet about it, in the sense that it is just going to be pure joy to get to masquerade around on stage and be in a theater.”

Be sure to tune in to the Aida reunion on ‘Stars In The House’ at 8 pm ET on the ‘Stars In The House’ YouTube channel and StarsInTheHouse.com. Hosts Seth and James have raised over $1 million with their reunion episodes, benefitting The Actor’s Fund, which offers a financial safety net for performer throughout their lifespan.

Dal sito Oggi Notizie:

Adam Pascal parla del revival “più realistico” di “Aida” e rivela la sua “gioia” di tornare sul palco di Broadway

Il cast di “Aida” si riunirà in “Stars In The House” di Seth Rudetsky il 5 giugno. La star di Broadway Adam Pascal ha parlato con HL dell’imminente revival.

Questa riunione è stata sicuramente scritta nelle stelle! Il cast vincitore del Tony Award dello spettacolo ’00 Broadway Aida si unirà Seth Rudetsky e James Wesley sul loro spettacolo livestream “Stars In The House” il 5 giugno. Heather Headley (Aida), Sherie Rene Scott (Amneris), Adam Pascal (Radamès), John Hickok (Zoser), Pneumatici Allen (Amonasro), Dan Oreskes (faraone), e Schele Williams (Nehebka) saranno tutti presenti per discutere dell’epica storia d’amore che è stata raccontata sul palco dal 2000 al 2004, con una splendida colonna sonora di Tim Rice ed Elton John. Adam, ampiamente conosciuto per la sua interpretazione di Roger Davis in Davis Affitto, parlato a HollywoodLife.com sull’imminente revival di Schele Williams di Aida, così come il suo ritorno sul palco mentre le porte di Broadway si preparano ad aprirsi.

Mentre tutti speriamo che Adam e la sua voce sorprendente e facilmente riconoscibile tornino come Radames, ha ammesso che non accadrà, per alcuni motivi diversi. “Sono decisamente troppo vecchio,” ha riso, “Tuttavia, tornerei totalmente a interpretare Zoser, il padre di Radames. Ma penso che Shele abbia capito che il revival avrà come protagonista un cast interamente etnico”. Aida racconta la storia di un amore proibito tra Aida, una principessa etiope tenuta prigioniera in Egitto, e il generale egiziano, Radames.

“La mia comprensione è che questo risveglio sarà storicamente molto più accurato rispetto ai tempi e alle persone reali che vivevano lì, che erano tutte sfumature di marrone”, ha spiegato Adam. “Quindi, non appartengo necessariamente a questo nuovo mondo.” Anche se potremmo non vederlo nel Aida revival, l’attore nominato al Tony ha gli occhi puntati sul palcoscenico mentre le porte di Broadway si preparano a riaprire questo settembre.

“Il nostro settore è stato colpito come nessun altro. Durante la pandemia, ci sono stati solo pochi mesi in cui non c’erano produzioni televisive e cinematografiche in corso, ma succedevano ancora cose. Abbiamo chiuso al 100% e non avevamo idea di quando sarebbe finito o come sarebbe andato a finire”, ha detto Adam. Questa non sarà la prima volta che lei torna sul palco e ha avuto un momento di “risuscita dalle ceneri”. “Ricordo il primo spettacolo dopo l’11 settembre, ero in Aida ed esso era Idina Menzella prima esibizione, e voglio dire, la mia prima esibizione di Affitto dopo Jonathan [Larson] è morto – ci sono stati momenti incredibilmente commoventi e difficili in cui ho dovuto tornare ed essere sul palco”, ha detto. “Questo sarà incredibile e non c’è niente di agrodolce, nel senso che sarà pura gioia mascherarsi sul palco ed essere in un teatro.”

Dal sito Stage Chat:

Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida set for West End premiere

Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is set for its first professional production in London’s West End.

Based on the opera of the same name written by Antonio Ghislanzoni, Aida features music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice and a book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang.

Aida is an epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the soldier they both love.

Originally produced by Disney, the musical premiered in Atlanta in 1998 before moving to Chicago and finally making it to Broadway in 2000.

To date however there has not been a professional London production.

That could soon change with work on a revival underway, directed by Schele Williams who starred in the original Broadway cast.

The new production had been due to begin performances in North America in 2021 but following the pandemic will now debut in Holland in 2023, with plans for a West End run shortly after.

Williams told the Broadway Podcast Network: “It’s never been on the West End, which is pretty exciting. Both Tim and Elton want it to be in their home so I’m really excited to bring it to England.

In a message on Twitter and via his podcast, Tim Rice previously confirmed: “Working on podcast number 8 which will feature Aida: musical with Sir Elton for which there are London plans via Europe in 18 months time if all is well. @heatherheadley”

Casting for the Holland production is currently taking place with details about the London run to be announced.

A noi piacerebbe già poter vedere una versione filmata come hanno fatto con Hamilton... poi facessero anche un film (animato dubitiamo, ma live action magari) ci piacerebbe eccome!
Aida è una storia immortale e il musical ha canzoni e musiche spettacolari... anche se è più opera rock che musical a nostro parere perché è molto cantato...
speriamo che i set siano meno minimal nella nuova versione rispetto all'originale... un po' più di scenografia secondo noi andrebbe meglio...

Spero che questa versione sia sfarzosa come appunto la civiltà egizia,con costumi ben elaborati e scenografie mozzafiato!
Tornando al film,io preferirei una versione animata,ve li immaginate che sfondi spettacolari potrebbero trarre dall'Egitto ! In questo periodo dove vogliono rappresentare più culture possibili sarebbero un colpaccio!
Ovviamente questo è un mio desiderio,come dite voi c'è molta più probabilità di vederlo live action.

Il live action è dietro l'angolo, non appena saranno terminati i remake dei Classici più noti almeno.
All'animazione dovremo purtroppo rinunciarvi, mera illusione, ma un live action, specie se Cleopatra di Gal Gadot avrà successo, è molto più che una possibilità; bisogna sperare nel successo del Revival a teatro e nelle future prossime pellicole storiche. Il cinema è un'industria e vive di tendenze commerciali.

Oggi ho provato ad ascoltarlo, non avevo le cuffie e ammetto che la comprensione è stata quella che è stata, ma più che altro mi è parso un excursus sulla storia del musical, è stato bello risentire alcune canzoni cardine. Quindi credo che Rice abbia solo accennato a un ritorno sulle scene britanniche, ma senza dilungarsi. Certo che questa storia con epilogo tragico, esattamente come la versione teatrale del Gobbo, darebbe qualcosa di diverso, schietto e realistico, senza troppe edulcorazioni. La Disney ha tra le mani il suo Romeo e Giulietta. Forse l'ho già scritto, ma se la Cleopatra di Gal Gadot si farà e avrà successo, come pure la serie tv di Moon Knight su Disney+ con tutta la mitologia egizia, allora le chance di un live action di Aida saranno verosimilmente forti.

Trovato il cast principale del revival del musical che debutterà nei Paesi Bassi ad aprile 2023.

Dal sito Broadway World:

World Premiere of Re-Imagined AIDA to be Presented in the Netherlands in April 2023

Gaia Aikman, April Darby and Naidjim Severina are set to star.

AIDA, the musical by Elton John and Tim Rice has been reworked and updated, and the world premiere is set for 23 April 2023 in the AFAS Circustheater in Scheveningen. Stage Entertainment Nederland and Disney Theatrical Productions have announced hat Gaia Aikman (The Lion King, TINA - The Tina Turner Musical), April Darby (Sister Act, The Bodyguard) and Naidjim Severina (The Lion King, Kinky Boots) will play the lead roles in the production.

The updated version of AIDA differs in a number of respects from the version performed here from 2001 to 2003, which attracted 1.3 million visitors. It goes without saying that the iconic music and lyrics by Sir Elton John (The Lion King, Billy Elliot) and Tim Rice (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita) have remained the same, but the creative team, led by director Schele Williams, has given the musical a contemporary feel without compromising its original quality.

The narrative of AIDA remains intact in this renewed version. It is the compelling and fateful story of two lovers belonging to feuding nations, torn between their conflicted loyalties to their countries and to each other. This love story is set against the backdrop of a nation immersed in nationalism that seeks to expand its empire by invading another country.

Scriptwriter David Henry Hwang, also responsible for the original version of AIDA: "The classic tale of Aida has touched audiences across cultures and time. I'm thrilled to adapt the performance we created twenty years ago to the current era, so that the epic love story can speak even more powerfully to audiences today."

The show's producer Thomas Schumacher, President & Producer Disney Theatrical Productions said, "Schele Williams, David Henry Hwang and the team have cracked the show open in new ways to bring the story into today's world while honoring what fans have cherished for 20 years: rich characters, gorgeous designs and those extraordinary songs."

Interestingly, director Schele Williams, was a member of the original Broadway cast of AIDA and has now received the opportunity to direct this updated version of the musical. She has extensively researched the historical period in which AIDA is set, and in doing so, made new discoveries about the background of the story which she has used as inspiration for the new work. For example, she focused on nationalism rather than race and she explored the extraordinary role of women in this period.

"One of the most fascinating things about the time in which AIDA is set, was that gender inequality was not an issue then. Pharaohs could be female too, among both the Egyptians and the Nubians. Women were also commanders of armies, and soldiers, and the best doctors in Egypt. Women held property and took it with them when they got married. It made me realise that in our fight for equal rights, we women actually need to get back what we already had then. As a mother, I think it's fantastic that I can tell my daughters and their friends about this, and that we must reclaim the position we always had."

The music in AIDA is some of the most iconic in the history of musicals. The collaboration between Elton John and Tim Rice, who were inspired by the 1871 opera of the same name by the great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, resulted in a series of songs. Songs such as Written in the Stars, A Step Too Far, God Loves Nubia, and Easy as Life have remained just as beautiful and eloquent after translation into Dutch. When it first came out, AIDA was performed in 14 different languages in 20 countries, and is now on the bucket list of a whole new generation of musical lovers, who will be able to fall in love with it at the AFAS Circustheater in 2023.

Bob Crowley is to sign on with AIDA for the sumptuous and imposing sets and costumes. He designed the award-winning sets and costumes for Broadway musicals such as Tarzan, Mary Poppins and ALADDIN. His designs for the latter successful musical, which received eight Musical Awards earlier this year, can still be seen at the AFAS Circustheater Scheveningen.

Gaia Aikman is to play the role of Aida, April Darby will be Amneris, and Naidjim Severina will play Radames. Gaia Aikman: "I can finally say it out loud: I am Aida! Words cannot describe how happy I am to be playing this role! As a woman of colour, this role has always been high on my list. Soon I will be able to tell this iconic love story together with April and Naidjim. Because I previously shared the stage with April and Naidjim (in The Bodyguard and The Lion King) I am even more looking forward to this adventure. This is going to be something very special."

Stage Entertainment will announce the names of the actors playing Mereb (Radames' Nubian servant), Zoser (Radames' father and the top Egyptian minister), and Kandake (the warrior queen of Nubia) at a later date.

Stage Entertainment Nederland regards the world premiere of AIDA 2.0 as confirmation of the successful partnership between Stage Entertainment and Disney Theatrical Productions. Walter Drenth, managing director of Stage Entertainment Nederland: "Stage Entertainment Nederland is proud to be able to produce this newly revamped version of AIDA and to stage the world premiere in our own AFAS Circustheater Scheveningen."

Joanne Telesford, Qshans Thode & Robin van den Akker Join World Premiere of Re-Imagined AIDA in the Netherlands

The updated and renewed musical will have its world premiere in the AFAS Circustheater in Scheveningen on April 23, 2023.

Producer Stage Entertainment Nederland has announced three new names, who will star in the musical AIDA alongside Gaia Aikman, April Darby and Naidjim Severina. Joanne Telesford, Qshans Thode and Robin van den Akker will play the roles of Kandake, Mereb and Zoser respectively. On April 23, 2023, the updated and renewed musical AIDA will have its world premiere in the AFAS Circustheater in Scheveningen.

Joanne Telesford, who is currently starring in the theatrical comedy Girls on Fire , is looking forward to playing the role of Kandake (the warrior queen of Nubia). "It's fantastic to be able to play this role," says Joanne. "In the original production of AIDA, it was Aida's father who played a role in her life. Director Schele Williams did extensive research into the role of women in ancient Egypt and in this new production it is her mother Kandake who is the influential force.' Joanne also starred in other productions such as Disney's The Lion King and Tarzan, Hairspray and Daddy Cool . In 2017, she was nominated for a Musical Award for her portrayal of Winnie Mandela in the show Amandla! Mandela.

Qshans Thode will play the role of Mereb (Radames' Nubian servant). In previous productions, such as Disney's The Lion King, Sister Act, Mamma Mia! and TINA - The Tina Turner musical , he was part of the ensemble and understudy for several other roles.

Robin van den Akker has been given the role of Zoser (father of Radames and highest Egyptian minister). He is currently performing in the musical performance Het Feest van Tante Rita. Previously he played in the ensembles of Disney's AIDA (2001), My Fair Lady, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Mamma Mia!. In 2008 he took part in the talent show Op looking for Joseph , a role that then went to Freek Bartels.

Disney's AIDA tells the compelling, ill-fated story of two lovers from hostile nations who are torn between conflicting loyalties to their country and to each other. A love story set against the backdrop of a nation drenched in nationalism that invades another country to expand its empire.

The Grammy and Tony Award-winning music in AIDA is some of the most iconic in musical history. The collaboration between Elton John and Tim Rice, who were inspired by the 1871 opera of the same name by the great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, led to songs such as: ' Somewhere in the Stars', 'Gone Too Far', 'Blessed Nubia', "Forget him."

Written by David Henry Hwang , AIDA is directed by Schele Williams, with choreography by Darrell Grand Moultrie, sets and costumes by designer Bob Crowley, lighting design by Natasha Katz, and sound design by Tony Gayle. The musical team is led by musical supervisor Clement Ishmael, with vocal and co-additional music arrangements by Michael McElroy, orchestrations by Jim Abbott, and dance and co-additional music arrangements by Zane Mark.

AIDA has been performed in twenty countries and fourteen languages ​​and is on the bucket list of a completely new generation of musical lovers who can indulge themselves in the AFAS Circustheater Scheveningen in 2023.

Ma è tanto difficile portarlo in Italia con un nostro adattamento in italiano? E pensare che avevamo anche noi attiva la Stage Entertainment porca miseria! E invece ci rifilano sempre gli stessi titoli o opere minori. Troppo provinciali siamo.
