Mehr als vier Millionen Besucher in zwölf Ländern nationale Hotline 01805 - 2001 belegen: BODYGUARD ist nicht nur im Kino ein Hit! (0,14 EUR/Min. a.d.dt. Festnetz, Mobilfunk max. 0,42 EUR/Min.), Von London aus eroberte das topmoderne, glamouröse Bühnenereignis lokal unter 0221 - 5779 0 die Metropolen der Welt. Spektakuläre Choreografien, 16 Tophits und 0221 - 2801, im Internet unter – in englischer Sprache gesungen – sowie die packende Love-Story www.bodyguard-musical.de um Superstar Rachel Marron und ihrem Bodyguard Frank Farmer sowie an allen bekannten garantieren dem Publikum ein Live-Erlebnis der Extraklasse! Vorverkaufsstellen. Ein weltweiter Musical-Hit Mit der Uraufführung am Londoner West End im Jahr 2012 wurde BODYGUARD auch auf der Bühne ein Hit. Davon zeugen nicht nur vier Nominierungen für den renommierten Laurence Olivier Award und die Auszeichnung mit dem begehrten WhatsOnStage-Award als „Best New Musical“ – auch an den Theaterkassen ist BODYGUARD – DAS MUSICAL ein Publikumsmagnet. Bislang begeisterte die Spitzenproduktion weltweit über vier Millionen Zuschauer in zwölf Ländern (Großbritannien, Niederlande, Köln, Stuttgart, Wien, USA, Südkorea, Kanada, Italien, Australien, China, Spanien und Paris). Der Filmstoff als zeitgemäßes Bühnenerlebnis Der Blockbuster Bodyguard nach dem Drehbuch des mehrfach Oscar- www.bodyguard-musical.de nominierten Autors Lawrence Kasdan (u.a. Star Wars – Das Imperium www.facebook.com/bodyguardmusical schlägt zurück, Indiana Jones – Jäger des verlorenen Schatzes) machte die #bodyguarddasmusical mitreißende Liebesgeschichte um Superstar Rachel Marron und ihrem Bodyguard Frank Farmer weltbekannt. Allein in Deutschland lockte der Streifen über 6 Millionen Zuschauer in die Kinos. In der Musical-Bearbeitung des Oscarpreisträgers Alexander Dinelaris (Bestes Drehbuch für Birdman) wird aus dem Filmstoff der neunziger Jahre ein Bühnenerlebnis der Gegenwart, das noch glamouröser, noch spannender und noch gefühlvoller als die Filmvorlage ist. INHaltsvERZEICHNIS Ein Musical voller Nr. 1-Hits Seine besondere Note erhält das Musical genau wie der Film durch die Songs des legendären, mit dem Grammy Award ausgezeichneten Soundtracks. Mit über 45 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern ist er bis heute der erfolgreichste Filmsoundtrack aller Zeiten. In BODYGUARD – DAS MUSICAL sind daneben noch zahlreiche weitere Nr. 1-Hits live zu erleben, wie „I Wanna Dance with Somebody“, „How Will I Know“ oder „One Moment in Time“. Nicht zu vergessen eine der schönsten Balladen aller Zeiten: „I Will Always Love You“. Eine packende Love-Story für das Bühnentraumpaar Der frühere Geheimagent Frank Farmer wird engagiert, um Superstar Rachel Marron vor einem unbekannten Stalker zu beschützen – gegen ihren Willen. Weder die exzentrische Diva noch ihr strenger Leibwächter sind bereit, Kompromisse einzugehen – bis sich zwischen beiden entspinnt, womit keiner gerechnet hat: eine leidenschaftliche Liebesgeschichte. Mit Aisata Blackman und Jo Weil in den Hauptrollen kann sich das Publikum auf eine hochkarätige Besetzung freuen: Die erfolgreiche Sängerin und Musical-Darstellerin brillierte über ein Jahr lang als Rachel Marron bereits in Stuttgart und überzeugte mit ihrem außerordentlichen Gesangstalent u.a. in der 2. Staffel von The Voice of Germany. Der beliebte Schauspieler begeisterte als sympathischer Bodyguard die Musical-Metropole Wien. „Grandios: der Musical-Megahit der Saison“, schrieb die Daily Mail aus London, „Man geht rein und summt die Songs, man geht raus und singt sie aus vollster Kehle“, schwärmte The Independent, „Spektakulär und genial ausgestattet“, jubelte The Daily Telegraph und The Times urteilte „Brillant!“ „Bodyguard bringt alles mit, was Musical-Fans sich wünschen: Große Stimmen, tolle Tänzer, aufwendige Kostüme und eine romantische Liebesgeschichte“, schwärmt der Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger. „Besser als im Kino und auf CD,“ urteilt die Leipziger Volkszeitung, die Frankfurter Neue Presse attestiert, „Welch ein Glamour!“, die Salzburger Nachrichten ergänzen: „Ein Musical für alle Generationen!“ INHaltsvERZEICHNIS PRESSEKONTAKTE BERLIN BREGENZ Grabner Beeck Kommunikation GbR Pzwei Presseagentur Rolf Grabner Thorsten Bayer [email protected] [email protected] +49 (0) 30 30 30 630 Tel +43 (0) 5574 4 47 15-27 Amely Helmreich [email protected] GRAZ +49 (0) 30 30 30 630 Allegria PR & Events Mario Reiner [email protected] BREMEN +43 (0) 1 47 90 260 Koopmann Concerts & Promotion GbR Oliver Mücke [email protected] LINZ +49 (0) 421 3 39 88 45 Landestheater Linz Philipp Brunnader [email protected] ESSEN +43 (0) 676 89 76 11-322 BB Promotion Köln Susanne Incze [email protected] LUXEMBURG +49 221 260 35 44 15 Rockhal Delia Controguerra [email protected] FRANKFURT, Baden-Baden +35 2 24 5 55-234 BB Promotion Mannheim Lea Kaub [email protected] ZÜRICH +49 (0) 621 1 07 92-812 FBM Communications AG Marcel Theiler [email protected] KÖLN +41 (0) 44 2 65 56 66 BB Promotion Köln Sandra Augstein [email protected] PROJEKTLEITUNG PR +49 (0) 221 2 60 35 44-18 BB Promotion Köln Ulrike Wingenfelder [email protected] MÜNCHEN +49 (0) 221 2 60 35 44-19 Deutsches Theater München Georg Kleesattel Dietmar Maier [email protected] [email protected] +49 (0) 89 5 52 34-250 +49 (0) 221 2 60 35 44-16 INHaltsvERZEICHNIS PRESSESTIMMEN Aktuelle Tournee „Da sage noch mal einer, Musical kann kein großes Kino „Blackman und ihr Gegenüber Weil ergänzen sich als machen. ‚Bodyguard – das Musical‘, die Mega-Show, ist ein Liebespaar perfekt.“ echter Straßenfeger, im Filmbiz-Deutsch: ein Blockbuster.“ „Sagenhaft.

  • An Actor's Life and Backstage Strife During WWII
    Media Release For immediate release June 18, 2021 An actor’s life and backstage strife during WWII INSPIRED by memories of his years working as a dresser for actor-manager Sir Donald Wolfit, Ronald Harwood’s evocative, perceptive and hilarious portrait of backstage life comes to Melville Theatre this July. Directed by Jacob Turner, The Dresser is set in England against the backdrop of World War II as a group of Shakespearean actors tour a seaside town and perform in a shabby provincial theatre. The actor-manager, known as “Sir”, struggles to cast his popular Shakespearean productions while the able-bodied men are away fighting. With his troupe beset with problems, he has become exhausted – and it’s up to his devoted dresser Norman, struggling with his own mortality, and stage manager Madge to hold things together. The Dresser scored playwright Ronald Harwood, also responsible for the screenplays Australia, Being Julia and Quartet, best play nominations at the 1982 Tony and Laurence Olivier Awards. He adapted it into a 1983 film, featuring Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay, and received five Academy Award nominations. Another adaptation, featuring Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins, made its debut in 2015. “The Dresser follows a performance and the backstage conversations of Sir, the last of the dying breed of English actor-managers, as he struggles through King Lear with the aid of his dresser,” Jacob said. “The action takes place in the main dressing room, wings, stage and backstage corridors of a provincial English theatre during an air raid. “At its heart, the show is a love letter to theatre and the people who sacrifice so much to make it possible.” Jacob believes The Dresser has a multitude of challenges for it to be successful.

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Exhibitions Theatre & Dance Music Sports Special Events
    EXHIBITIONS THEATRE & DANCE MUSIC SPORTS SPECIAL EVENTS Madrid. Save the Date 2018 | 1 So many tales to tell What was Madrid like two hundred years ago? Like many of the buildings that are now part of our heritage, Gran Vía avenue did not exist yet, but the city was already starting to take on its present-day appearance. On 23 April 1818, the first stone was laid for what would become theTeatro Real, the city’s new opera house. This year the iconic building is celebrating its bicentenary, and it’s doing so in style, revisiting some of the classics in its regular repertoire, like Aida, and staging major premieres such as Dead Man Walking -many will remember the film version- and Street Scene. The Prado Museum will also commemorate its two-hundredth anniversary in 2019, although the celebrations will officially kick off at the end of 2018. Fortuny and Rubens are two of the masters whose works will be featured in temporary exhibitions at the museum which was originally built to house the Royal Cabinet of Natural History. They won’t be the only artists Madrid will pay tribute to this year, however, as the 2018 exhibitions calendar will feature shows with artworks by Andy Warhol, Toulouse-Lautrec, Giacometti, Sorolla, Vasarely and Monet. We’ll feel the weight of history at extraordinary exhibitions like Auschwitz and at the theatre, thanks to stage adaptations of plays as representative of our heritage as Divinas Palabras (Teatro Español) and El Concierto de San Ovidio (Teatro María Guerrero). Madrid’s theatre scene is more vibrant than ever and theatregoers seeking more avant-garde alternatives will also be well served thanks to a packed calendar with a strong representation of female artists, including Sara Molina, Mónica Valenciano and Angélica Liddel.
