El pasado miercoles la directora general de Stage Entertainment, Julia Gomez Cora, anuncio que la de Los Miserables sera 'la gira mas grande que nunca ha salido'. Lo dijo en una escueta entrevista con David Galindo para Radio 5 en la que ademas revelo que en 2014 habra un nuevo estreno en Barcelona y una nueva gira, ademas de la incursion en el pequeño formato a traves de Microteatro por Dinero. Excelentes noticias para los amantes de las grandes producciones que hace volar nuestra imaginacion sobre lo que esta por llegar. La decision no debe ser facil… elegir algo que sea familiar para el gran publico y que le lleve a querer revivirlo en teatro… Puede que sea la adaptacion de una pelicula, o el estreno de uno de esos musicales completamente nuevos que estan triunfando en Broadway o West End. Sea como sea, creo que aun tenemos mucho durante esta temporada como para preocuparnos de lo que nos traera 2014, año en el que parece que seguiremos sumidos en el pesimismo economico.

We thought it was a little strange when it crossed our News Desk today that Liza Minnelli would be starring in a film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard, to be produced by the dynamic duo of TV, Film and Broadway vets Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. This was posted by 'Online PR News' on September 15th and we thought it odd that we wouldn't have heard of this, so we reached out to the pair and to Minnelli's publicist and quickly confirmed that there was NO truth to the report, and further confirmed that Zadan and Meron have NEVER been involved with a movie version of Sunset Boulevard.
