In attesa del suo debutto con A NIGHT ON BROADWAY, ho intervistato per voi il protagonista: Daniele Carta Mantiglia... buona lettura!
Daniele Carta Mantiglia, classe 1992, una promessa del teatro musicale italiano. Daniele, tra meno di una settimana debutti con il tuo A Night on Broadway. Lo spettacolo nasce da una tua idea. Di cosa si tratta?
Lo spettacolo nasce dall'idea - mia e di Flavio Gismondi - di portare in scena quei brani che dall'infanzia fino ad oggi hanno influenzato, riempito e incorniciato tutta la mia vita, in forma di concerto. Partendo proprio dalla mia infanzia e quindi dal mio incontro diretto con questo mondo, grazie al mio primo lavoro 'Giulietta e Romeo', si e creato quindi un vero e proprio percorso senza distinzioni di genere, ruolo o epoca che fondamentalmente comprende tutti quei brani che volendo o no fanno parte del bagaglio di ogni artista. È nato con la volonta di condividere con amici, colleghi e chiunque altro fosse interessato, emozioni e ricordi per scoprire insieme questo magico mondo, in tutte le sue meraviglie, ma anche in tutte le sue problematiche.
È dunque uno spettacolo cucito 'a misura' su di te, che parla delle tue esperienze, dei tuoi successi, dei sogni, delle prime delusioni… È senz'altro piu difficile interpretare se stessi piuttosto che calarsi in un ruolo completamente diverso. Condividi?

So when David decides to write a blog for Broadwayworld while living in Vienna for a month, he doesn't anticipate that finding a library will be difficult, because it is, or finding wifi that matter. Thus here he sits in Westbahnof, pretending to wait for a connection, eating a croissant, and typing his blog post on his airplane mode iPhone (to avoid roaming). That's right, there is no laptop when RyanAir (a cheap European airline) had the strictest weight restrictions imaginable.
