Negli articoli precedenti abbiamo già nominato successi ed insuccessi dei movie musical di Andrew Lloyd Webber e Stephen Sondheim. Facciamo una panoramica sulle altre trasposizioni cinematografiche degli ultimi anni.

Una pioggia torrenziale ha interrotto a quattro brani dal finale la serata NOTTE DEL MUSICAL sulla piazza del lungomare di Torvaianica dove lo scorso 1° settembre, il Maestro Simone Martino, prolifico compositore di musical a sfondo spesso molto drammatico, ha radunato una selezione di giovani ma ben collaudati interpreti, gia protagonisti nelle sue opere: Leonardo Di Minno, Luca Marconi, Giovanni De Filippi, Luca Gaudiano, Angela Pascucci, Martina Cenere, Enrico D'Amore e Margherita Rebeggiani.

It's been 30 years since Claude-Michel Schönberg &Alain Boublil's phenomenon of a musical opened in London. LES MISERABLES originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on October 8, 1985. It transferred to the Palace Theatre on 4 December 1985 where it ran for 19 years before moving to its current home at the Queen's Theatre on 3 April 2004 where it has already played for 11 years and looks set to at least equal the run at the Palace Theatre as it is still playing to standing room only. When Les Miserables celebrated its 21st London birthday on 8 October 2006, it became the World's Longest Running Musical, surpassing the record previously held by Cats in London's West End.

Every year, the Utah Shakespeare Festival works to capture the Bard's characters onstage. Oil Painter Richard Lance Russell does the same thing on canvas.

Jones Theatre Gallery throughout the season, from June to October. An opening reception will be held on June 28th from 5:30-7:00 pm and Russell will be signing his work on June 29th from 12:45-1:45. Both events will be held in the Randall L. Jones Theatre. Russell's work can also be seen at his website: richardrussellart.com.
