Théâtre: Lyric Theatre (Londres - Angleterre)
Durée : 1 an 8 mois 2 semaines
Nombre : 704 représentations
Première Preview : Saturday 23 September 2006
Première : Tuesday 10 October 2006

Mise en scène : Rufus Norris •

Producteur :
Avec : Anna Maxwell Martin (Sally Bowles), James Dreyfuss (Emcee), Michael Hayden (Clifford), Sheila Hancock (Fräulein Schneider), Geoffrey Hutchings (Herr Schultz), Andrew Maud (Ernst Ludwig), Harriet Thorpe (Fräulein Kost).
Later replacements were Kim Medcalf and Amy Nuttall as Sally, Julian Clary and Alistair McGowan as the Emcee, and Honor Blackman and Angela Richards as Fraulein Schneider.
Commentaires : This was, to date, the darkest and most gritty interpretation of “Cabaret”. During “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”, sung by a fresh-voiced Aryan youth, the company cavorted nude like the naturists of the period. In the finale the same
naked dancers piled up on top of each other in the gas chambers. This compelling, fearless and frank production was not to everyone’s taste, but it ran the best part of two years, and won an Olivier Award for Sheila Hancock. It closed on June 21st 2008.
Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Inventive, musically vigorous production." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Rufus Norris's production of the Kander/Ebb classic is the most stunningly fresh and imaginative revival of a classic musical that I have ever seen." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Forty years after its premiere, Cabaret increasingly looks like one of the defining musicals of the postwar era." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Sensuality is missing." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "This is a strong and daring revival of a great musical that combines unforgettable songs with genuinely gripping and disturbing drama."

Commentaires : Il s'agit de la fin à Londres de l'UK-Tour de 2012.
This was a revival of the dark and disturbing production which had a much praised two year run in 2006. For this revival several of the numbers had been re-staged with different choreography, and some critics felt it had lost some of its power and ability to shock. The performance of “pop-idol” Will Young, in his West End, was acclaimed, and there was much praise for Sian Phillips and Linai Haft.
Presse : "The chilling descent into Nazi nightmare isn’t realised with enough intensity. The central relationships don’t fully convince, and there is a lack of sensuality." - Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"The final 20 minutes of Rufus Norris's revamped revival of Cabaret are shockingly good." - Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Patchy but inventive production." - Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

Commentaires : One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.

BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road).
Presse : "It’s an admirable effort, with industrious, multi-tasking support from an ensemble of 22, but is it, finally, a play for today? It induces shivers as a memento mori, possesses a rare metaphysical curiosity too but the best plays today tend to have more to chew on." Dominic Cavendish for The Daily Telegraph

"... virtuosic production that captures both the frantic dizziness of a money-driven world and the beckoning finality of death." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Foul-mouthed, moralistic, atheistic, theatrical; the first big production from the new regime at the Royal National Theatre grabs your attention but it is also a dumbed-down jumble." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail

"As a vision of the battle between the soul and the world, Everyman isn’t revelatory. But as a statement of intent from Norris it’s bold." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Première Preview : Thursday 23 March 2006

J. Wilson (Kim)
Commentaires : Originally produced by The Almeida Theatre Company
Presse : BEN BRANTLEY of the NEW YORK TIMES says �The big moments that are supposed to generate shivers and gasps feel lukewarm and unfulfilled. And you never sense the damning connectedness of these people...Otherwise, this empty house is still waiting to be haunted.�
CLIVE BARNES of THE NEW YORK POST says "David Eldridge's dining-room trage dy-comedy 'Festen' - that's Danish for "celebration" - is an odd duck. Carefully, indeed brilliantly, coached by the director, Rufus Norris, the production that opened last night at the Music Box flaps its histrionic wings to some major effect, but it remains odd and it remains a duck."
HOWARD KISSEL of the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS says "Plays about skeletons jumping out of family closets were once startling. "Festen's" revelations seem merely musty."
MICHAEL SOMMERS of STAR-LEDGER says "A preposterous melodrama about something rotten in Denmark, "Festen" is a stinking misconception on Broadway."
JACQUES LE SOURD of JOURNAL NEWS says "Festen" is Strindberg without the nuance or the real drama seething just below its cool surface. It is simply cool, and all surface. Meant surely to be disturbing, the play never gets near your emotions. Ian MacNeil did the chic design work, which ultimately is dominated by one long dining table. The people sitting down at it are certainly about to have a bummer of an evening. Whether the chic crowd that attends the show will also suffer is debatable. The play's subject may be incendiary, but the payload, this time, is a dud."
LINDA WINER of NEWSDAY says "Engrossing, aching, classic-Greek inevitability of the family dynamics. The shocker itself is not likely to surprise audiences numbed by the din of dysfunctional-family melodramas of the last decade. What gives the revelation its shiver creeps out from the visceral emotions amid the formalities of the gathered clan."
MICHAEL KUCHWARA of ASSOCIATED PRESS says "As one of the main characters says midway through "Festen," the English import based on a Danish film that has arrived on Broadway with an American cast: "Welcome to this curious birthday party". "Curious" is not the half of it. Think "unlikely," "unsavory" and, at times, "unwatchable" because of some flagrant miscasting. In other words, "Festen," playing at the Music Box Theatre, is no cause for celebration." "
FRANK SCHECK of the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER says "Ultimately, there's a fussiness to the staging that is at odds with the extremity of the emotions on display. Rather than being the lacerating experience it intends to be, this production seems more interested in showing off its bravura technique."

Commentaires : The musical opened to almost unanimous critical acclaim, garnering 5-star ratings from the Evening Standard, Financial Times, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday, The Independent on Sunday, The Sunday Times, Metro, The Sunday Express and Time Out magazine.
Commentaires longs: Many of the reviews made reference to the potentially controversial musical treatment of the source material, for example, critic Michael Coveney of The Independent wrote: "Doubters can be assured there is no "cashing in" on the tragedy, rather a deep, abiding sadness that it happened at all, and even a slight, knowingly shameful admission that something good has come out of it: a reborn community and a renewal of civic pride."
London Road won Best Musical at the 2011 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, held on 24 January 2012.
Presse : "A remarkably detailed social panorama. Don't miss. "
Kate Bassett for The Indpendent

"Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork's wonderfully sung play, which has more spoken and musicalised dialogue than big numbers, has a serious subject, an innovative technique and an insinuating score."
Susannah Clapp for The Guardian

"Imaginatively staged production.The whole concept might sound deeply dodgy, but somehow it works, combining humour and compassion."
Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"By turns disturbing and surprising, haunting and harrowing, it is also frequently unexpectedly funny and ultimately even uplifting."
Mark Shenton for The Stage

"A subtle and affecting work."
Henry Hitchings for Evening Standard

Commentaires : The National have previously staged The Beggar's Opera, John Gay's folk opera from 1728 that was one of the first British musicals, back in 1982. Then in 2000 it staged a contemporary rewrite The Villain's Opera. Now they finally tackle the scattergun but powerful Brecht/Weill version, inspired by the same story, first premiered in 1928 in Berlin, at the same time that yet another brand-new rewrite of the original source material The Busker's Opera is being staged at London's Park Theatre.
