Notes: Preview performance of the newest Spanish adaptation of Sondheim's musical comedy, which had played in an actual Roman theatre in Mérida, Spain; prior to this run. Actor-muso production, where the band either sat onstage, playing ensemble roles or in the boxes. Performed in Spanish to a socially distanced audience.There are several references to the Covid pandemic, which most people seemed to enjoy. Music Director: Xavier Mestres
Plus a 12 piece actor-muso band playing most of the ensemble roles (sometimes while playing). Please credit the director! NFT except through master, and never through sale. What to expect (from master): My personal favorites were Pseudolius, played by a well well-known celebrity who got an entry applause after the overture and had an impeccable comedic timing, and handled the score surprisingly well; Philia, whose beautiful soprano voice was indeed “Lovely”; and Miles Gloriosus, played brilliantly by Íñigo Etayo (who was Dimitry in the Spanish production of Anastasia), whose stage presence and voice stole the show. The innovative ways to bring the musicians to the stage (brilliantly crafted by director Daniel Anglés) were what made the production special and different, and it can be seen very well in the Overture (where the musicians mixed into the audience), the Entr´Acte (played from onstage using a variety of “unusual” percussion instruments, and the Playout. “Comedy Tonight”, “Lovely”, and “Bring me my bride” are also worth a listen, although the entirety of the show is worth it for any Sondheim fans, or simply any musical comedy enthusiasts.
