BWW Interview: Meet the Cast of Perisphere Theater's TIME IS ON OUR SIDE

HOMMAGE A AZNAVOUR ALLA SALA COLONNA

Una carriera lunga 85 anni, 43 album incisi, oltre 1000 canzoni scritte, 300 milioni di dischi venduti. Questo e molto altro era Charles Aznavour, alias Chahnourh Varinag Aznavourian, uno dei padri della tradizione musicale francese del dopoguerra e probabilmente lo chansonnier per eccellenza, con un repertorio musicale in sette lingue e numerose versioni in italiano delle sue canzoni. Uno stile, quello d'oltralpe degli anni '50/'60, che ha influito in buona parte sulla musica italiana degli anni successivi.

BWW Review: Carol De Giere's Book 'Defying Gravity: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz, from Godspell to Wicked Revised and Updated 2nd Ed.' Soars

Carol de Giere's revised and updated second edition to her earlier biography, 'DEFYING GRAVITY: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz,' was a necessary Act II, since, as we all know, Schwartz's star has only continued to rise since 2008. It's a wonderful addition with brand new behind-the-scene insights on his latest projects. As her webpage states, 'This new edition features a Foreword by Alan Menken and four new chapters covering Schwartz's more recent projects like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Prince of Egypt, and Wicked after Broadway. DEFYING GRAVITY Second Edition includes additional 'Creativity Notes' with comments from Schwartz about overcoming creative blocks, collaboration, and the artistic life.' A stunning 512 pages (with photographs and handwritten notes), de Giere's book is a thoroughly fascinating read as well as something of a musical theatre master class in written form -- one that has been lovingly lensed through the life and creativity of Stephen Schwartz.

BWW Review: World Premiere of THE PRINCE OF EGYPT is Magnificent

This weekend saw the TheatreWorks world premiere of The Prince of Egypt, which first came to life almost 20 years ago as a DreamWorks animated movie of the same name. Taking its cue more from Cecil B. de Mille's 'The Ten Commandments' and less so from the Bible, Philip LaZebnik's musical book creatively reimagines Moses as 'spare to the heir' behind his adoptive brother Ramses in this retelling of the Exodus story. Coupled with Stephen Schwartz' rich and nuanced score and lyrics, and an absolutely dynamic, multi-ethnic international cast, this epic saga of two brothers caught up in a destiny-defining relationship is altogether magnificent.
