SEUSSICAL Jumps From Page To Stage At The Playhouse At Allenberry!
Oh the Thinks you can think when you think about Seuss! Plunging audiences, striped-hat-first, into Dr. Seuss's whimsical world, Seussical takes over the Allenberry stage with all your favorite Seuss characters including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gerturde McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird, and a little boy with a big imagination, Jojo. Bursting with frivolity and imagination, the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many 'thinks'. Horton faces a double challenge. Not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Seussical is fun for the whole family!

BWW Interview: Tito Schipa jr. ed Ermanno Manzetti parlano dell'uscita del DVD di 'Orfeo 9'
'ORFEO 9' e un'opera rock scritta e musicata da Tito Schipa jr. ed andata in scena per la prima volta il 23 gennaio del 1970. Si tratta di uno spettacolo che utilizza il mito di Orfeo per descrivere 'l'avventura di questo tormento e rinascita tra il '68 e il 70', per usare le parole dell'autore. L'opera debutta al Sistina all'interno di una rassegna di teatro giovanile organizzata da Garinei e Giovannini, e nel 1973 ne viene fatta una versione cinematografica con i meravigliosi arrangiamenti di Bill Conti. Tra gli interpreti figurano gli allora sconosciuti Renato Zero e Loredana Berte - reduci dalla messa in scena sistiniana di 'Hair' - e Tullio De Piscopo tra i musicisti.

STAGE TUBE: Conferenza Stampa - Spring Awakening @ Teatro Brancaccio - Roma
Tratta dalla controversa piece teatrale di Frank Wedekind Risveglio di Primavera, pubblicata nel 1891 e a lungo oggetto di censura per la scabrosita e la provocarieta dei temi, l'opera mette in scena l'amore fra due quattordicenni e il drammatico conflitto tra un gruppo di adolescenti e i loro genitori e insegnanti. SPRING AWAKENING ha riscosso un clamoroso successo di critica e di pubblico e si e ben presto affermato come uno degli spettacoli piu originali e innovativi. Nel 2007, stravolgendo le previsioni, ha vinto ben otto Tony Awards tra cui miglior musical, miglior libretto, miglior colonna sonora originale, miglior regia, migliori musiche, diventando un cult generazionale e lanciando la giovanissima protagonista Lea Michele (protagonista di GLEE) nell'olimpo delle star piu apprezzate tra i giovani. Su libretto e testi di Steven Sater e musiche di Duncan Sheik, con un cast eccezionale di giovani performer, rock band dal vivo, musiche originali cantate in inglese con traduzioni proiettate sulla scena, Spring Awakening debutta in anteprima nazionale su licenza esclusiva MTI.
