Il Marconi Teatro Festival e giunto alla sua seconda edizione ufficiale e ha registrato un notevole afflusso di pubblico nei suoi due palcoscenici con ben 43 spettacoli tra letteratura, prosa, musical e concerti. La compagnia Ma Che Musical ha divertito e allietato gli spettatori del festival con due produzioni giovani ed effervescenti, LADYVETTE e NESSUNO È PERFETTO: i due musical sono liberamente ispirati a storie di film ben conosciuti con una selezione di canzoni non originali ma ben scelte per servire le rispettive trame. Il primo prende spunto dalle vicende del film Toto, Peppino e la malafemmina, mentre il secondo a quelle di A qualcuno piace caldo e Come sposare un milionario.

A few years back, Dear Readers, I stumbled on an article about a new little show called 'Disenchanted', about Fairy Tale Princesses in a musical revue telling about how life ain't so happily ever after and since I always love a good dose of snark I instantly became obsessed. I followed its journey, hoping it might come to a city near me or at least one I was visiting and even corresponded with the creators, book writer, composer and lyricist Dennis T Giancino and director Fiely A Matias who were kind enough to get me some sample recordings which only deepened my obsession (and put Siri in a tizzy as she has to censor herself when attempting to repeat back to me the original title). Well now, by the grace of the theater Gods and the good folks at Mamches Productions, that wonderful revue has come to Seattle and with the original creators in tow with Giancino directing this time and Matias assisting. And while the gloriousness of those scathing songs is there, the show itself needs a bit more settling time and some technical help to be truly great.
