On June 9th The Guthrie Theater premiered ROMAN HOLIDAY, a musical rendition of the classic Audrey Hepburn film. The plot features a frustrated and bored Princess Anne escaping her regimented advisors for some fun on the town during an international diplomatic tour. The princess meets a dashing silver fox of a newspaperman who takes her out in the city of love. However, the kindly Joe Bradley is also covertly planning to print a newspaper exclusive on their shenanigans. Of course, dastardly conflict arises the two realize that they've actually taken a liking to one another. If only real love were so dependable.
Der Autor Daniel (Daniel Große Boymann) ist verzweifelt. Nicht nur haben ihn seine Darsteller und Mitautoren alleine gelassen, nein er hat einen Abgabetermin für einen Abend über Theo Lingen mit dem Titel „Komiker aus Leidenschaft.“ Die Idee wollen nicht wirklich den Weg auf das Papier finden und so sucht der Autor Hilfe bei Lingen selber. Der ist selbstverständlich schon einige Jahrzehnte verstorben, also bleibt dieser Wunsch unerhört. Nein, Moment als der Strom scheinbar ausfällt und Daniel eine Kerze anzündet sitzt er plötzlich da: mit perfektem Mittelscheitel, vornehm, fast aristokratisch und kerzengerade auf dem Sofa: Theo Lingen.

There are a few reasons a Broadway lover might be interested in Mirror Mirror, a family-friendly comedy that is more Brothers Grimm than it is Disney. First, Nathan Lane steals the show on more than one occasion, which is no small feat next to Julia Roberts shining as the overly-confident, Evil Queen in one of the best casting decisions of the year (so far). There's an original score by Alan Menkin which manages to support the film beautifully without sucking us back to Disneyland and then there's the whole issue of that OTHER Snow White movie set to be released this year. Remember the year of WILD PARTY?
