Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Colosseum Theater (Essen - Allemagne) Durée : 1 an 9 mois 3 semaines Nombre : Première Preview : InconnuPremière : Sunday 05 October 2003Dernière : Friday 22 July 2005Mise en scène : Robert Falls • Chorégraphie : Wayne Cilento • Producteur : Avec : Ana Milva Gomes (Aida), Bettina Mönch (Amneris), Mark Seibert (Radames), Kristian Korsholm Vetter (Zoser), Marlon David Henry (Mereb), Zodwa Selele (Nehebka), Ronald Mkwanazi (Amonasro), Lutz Ulrich Flöth (Pharao)Commentaires : Cette version proposée au Colosseum est une magnifique version du musical d'Elton John. Tout est au rendez-vous: qualité sonore, perfection des interprètes, musicalité de la langue allemande et scénographie magnifique. Le dynamisme de ce spectacle est impressionnant: lors de certaine chansons comme par exemple 'Eine Pyramide mehr' (Another Pyramid) on reste figé!
Cette série au Colosseum sera prolongée par un "German Tour" qui va durer de novembre 2005 à mai 2007!

Tommy (1996-03-Shaftesbury Theatre-London)
Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Shaftesbury Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 11 mois 1 semaine Nombre : 391 représentationsPremière Preview : Tuesday 20 February 1996Première : Tuesday 05 March 1996Dernière : Saturday 08 February 1997Mise en scène : Des McAnuff • Chorégraphie : Wayne Cilento • Producteur : Avec : Paul Keating (Tommy), Kim Wilde (Mrs Walker), Alistair Robins (Captain Walker) , Nicola Hughes (Acid Queen), Hal Fowler (Cousin Kevin), Megan Bertie (Nurse), John Partridge (Lover), Ian Bartholomew (Uncle Ernie), Steve Devereaux, James Gillan.Commentaires : This was a completely re-written version, with many changes from the version that ran for just three months in the West End in 1979. The writer-director, Des McAnuff, had softened the story of the young boy who loses all his senses when , at the age of four, he witnesses his father killing his mother’s lover. Unable to communicate, abused by his family and the town louts, he somehow becomes a pinball wizard. Eventually he recovers his senses and develops into a messianic superstar. At the end of the show he returns to the bosom of his family. The production was notable for many stunning stage and lighting effects.
Die-hard Who fans complained that this version removed all the passion, fire and rage of the original, written at the time of Woodstock and the Vietnam War, when the only solution to the ills of society was to drop out. However, this version had opened to ecstatic reviews on Broadway in 1993 and ran for 899 performances . This spectacular London revival received very mixed notices, although there were rave notices for newcomer Paul Keating in the title role. It came off after just under a year, with a considerable financial loss - but shortly after it closed it won three Olivier Awards (Outstanding Musical, Best Director and Best Lighting).

“It's such a 'Wicked' waste of talent.” Howard Kissel for New York Daily News
“The most complete, and completely satisfying, new musical I've come across in a long time.” Elysa Gardner for USA Today
"Overproduced, overblown, confusingly dark and laboriously ambitious jumble." Linda Winer for Newsday
"Far too arch and sophisticated for children...lacks... sophistication and wit that would make it palatable for adults." Frank Scheck for Hollywood Reporter
"The best thing about 'Wicked' is its stars, whose talents cast a powerful spell." Roma Torre for NY1
"Lavish, ambitious and problematic." Michael Kuchwara for Associated Press

The London production celebrated its fifth anniversary on September 27th 2011 with a special curtain call featuring former West End cast members. After Idina Menzel's three-month run she was replaced by Kerry Ellis.
Other Elphabas have included Alexia Khadime and Rachel Tucker; with Dianne Pilkington and Louise Dearman as Glindas; and Oliver Tompsett, Lewis Bradley, Lee Mead (Fiyeros), and Desmond Barrit, Sam Kelly, Clive Carter (Wizards). In both New York and London the show initially received mixed reviews, but it seems to be a critic-proof show, and has had a phenomenal world-wide box office success.Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH du THE EVENING STANDARD: "Remarkable kaleidoscope of magical shocks, surprises and sensations. Wicked works like a dream."
PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT: "I enjoyed very little...The songs sound like dozens you've heard before. The acting is, by and large, appalling. "
MICHAEL BILLINGTON du THE GUARDIAN: "Efficient, knowing and highly professional but more like a piece of industrial product than something that genuinely touches the heart or mind."
CHARLES SPENCER du THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Witty, enjoyable...No one could accuse Wicked of being a great musical – indeed at times it's a bit of a mess - but it proves far more enjoyable than I had dared to hope"
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE du THE TIMES: "Songs bang out, along with iffy lyrics and not-so-witty dialogue…I’d rather see The Wizard of Oz 20 times than this ersatz show once."
