Aunque nuestro teatro musical patrio va viento en popa -pese a que decenas de compañias tengan que lidiar con teatros vacios y presupuestos esqueleticos- parece que nadie habla de ello en nuestros medios de comunicacion. Y cuando alguien lo hace es para alabar algun titulo o tratar de forma superflua el auge de los musicales en nuestras carteleras. Ya se sabe -por desgracia- que casi nadie habla de lo que no es negocio, aunque los periodicos intenten disimularlo. Asi que yo, humildemente, y sin ninguna intencion de sentar catedra ni crear evangelio, voy a compartir contigo temas de los que todos hablamos y reflexionamos pero sobre los que pocas veces se escribe. He decidido el titulo de The Safety Curtain porque me parece uno de los elementos mas simbolicos de una representacion teatral: entre otras cosas, protege al publico durante los cambios de escena. Se trata de una barrera util, entre la obra y el publico, y asi es BroadwayWorld Spain… un intermediario entre el mundo del espectaculo y su publico al que protege, cuida y mima. O al menos lo intentamos. Muchas gracias, espero que disfrutes.

Last night I fell in love … again … with Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! And that was surprise. The Musical holds a very special place in my heart since Broadway's original Belle, Susan Egan, and Broadway's final Belle, Anneliese Vanderpol, are both former students of mine. I was looking forward to seeing the production - but I was, in no way, expecting to be so completely taken in. It was a first class production all the way and was, by far, for me, the best musical theatre production in the McCallum's 25th anniversary season and the perfect way for them to begin to bring down the curtain on a tremendous and memorable year.
