Viktoria Tocca Entertainment Presents JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR In Dalhalla
by Chloe Rabinowitz - Dec 20, 2019


Det var över hundra sökande till rollen som Maria Magdalena; även videoansökningar från andra länder då musikalen ska spelas på originalspråket engelska. Efter en audition i Stockholm i början av december står det klart att rollen går till soulsångerskan Laila Adéle. Traditionellt sett har Maria Magdalena ofta porträtterats som det vackra, väna kärleksintresset som trånar efter en man. Rollbesättarna var eniga om det är förlegat och kallade därför sångerskor som oftast inte är påtänkta för den här rollen till audition.

BWW Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Popejoy Hall
by Beth Leitman - Oct 18, 2019


The 50th anniversary tour of Jesus Christ Superstar updates the much-loved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and modernizes it in a way that makes it more accessible and enjoyable to today's audiences. The musical, which debuted on Broadway in 1971, has reached a world-wide audience since then, with performances in Australia, Europe, and the West End. There have been several filmed versions of the production as well, including the 1973 movie starring Ted Neeley, as well as a more modern retelling of the rock opera in 2000 starring Glenn Carter. Finally, on Easter Sunday, NBC aired a live version of the production starring John Legend as Jesus. The longevity of the musical, as well as the various adaptations that have been made, show just how beloved the show has been for decades.

Throwing Out My CDs by Ben Rimalower: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
by Ben Rimalower - May 3, 2019


I can remember so well senior year of college when my friend Claudio came back from a trip to New York all abuzz over little drag rock show he'd seen Off-Broadway called Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I was grilling him for details on Audra and Marin in Ragtime and whether there was anything we could steal from Sam Mendes for our off-campus production of Cabaret, but Claudio only wanted to talk about Hedwig. The clincher for me was when he mentioned the star--and author--was John Cameron Mitchell. I was obsessed with John on the original cast albums of The Secret Garden and Hello Again. 'Okay, okay,' I agreed. I would see this Hedwig when I moved to New York four months later.
