Off BROADWAY off BROADWAY des d’abril fins a desembre de 2005 GIRA PER CATALUNYA ESPECTACLE MUSICAL EN CATALÀ off BROADWAY Ara ja sabem que els teatres de l’off Broadway no són els que estan lluny d’aquest famós carrer de Nova York. I també sabem que són molt més que els teatres d’un aforament reduït… A l’off Broadway és on neixen i es posen a prova els creadors que amb els anys ompliran els grans teatres del Broadway històric. Podríem dir que el que ha passat a l’off Broadway els darrers deu anys marca el que passarà a Broadway en els propers cinquanta. Aquest és, doncs, el repte que ens proposem: els nous creadors, els que aquí encara no s’han representat mai. Una nova generació de compositors i lletristes que estan oferint noves visions i noves propostes al món del teatre musical. L’any passat vàrem celebrar l’obra del pare del gènere: Richard Rodgers. Ara, fent un salt generacional, us proposem conèixer als seus ‘nets’. Situats en aquell punt entre el concert i l’espectacle: tornem a posar els intèrprets dalt de l’escenari: músics, cantants, actors... i busquem aquella energia que només es produeix en les nits especials. Música per tocar, lletres per cantar, històries per explicar... Una posada en escena al servei de les cançons; aquests ‘monòlegs amb música’ que troben en el format del musical un marc en el que sentir-se vives. El passat ens ha deixat cançons que no ens cansarem mai de sentir. El futur ens en porta de noves...

Un local. Una barra de bar. Ampolles. Copes. Gel. Taules. Cadires. Un petit escenari al fons. Música en directe. Poca llum. Ambient carregat. Batec intens. És de nit, a ‘la ciutat que mai no dorm’. Avui, el bar no està obert a tothom. S’hi fa una festa… un aniversari. Una actriu compleix anys i ho celebra amb els amics més íntims… És de nit, i tots estem més sensibles. Tenim ganes de passar-ho bé. Tenim ganes de compartir... d’explicar històries: les nostres històries. És de nit, i bevem. I ballem, i cantem... i ens barallem, ens estimem, ens deixem anar... Això és una invitació... t’esperem a l’off Broadway. ELS COMPOSITORS JASON ROBERT BROWN Després de debutar a Broadway com a compositor i lletrista de PARADE, un musical escrit amb Alfred Uhry i dirigit per Harold Prince, que es va estrenar al Lincoln Center el 1998 i va guanyar el Drama Desk i el New York Drama Critics Circle Awards com a Millor Musical, ha estrenat THE LAST FIVE YEARS, el seu darrer musical (un espectacle per a dos intèrprets que ha estat un dels grans èxits de l’Off-Broadway dels darrers anys).

    9780230601291ts01.qxd 24-1-08 03:35 PM Page i Directors and the New Musical Drama 9780230601291ts01.qxd 24-1-08 03:35 PM Page ii PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE HISTORY is a series devoted to the best of theatre/performance scholarship currently available, accessible and free of jargon. It strives to include a wide range of topics, from the more traditional to those performance forms that in recent years have helped broaden the understanding of what theatre as a category might include (from variety forms as diverse as the circus and burlesque to street buskers, stage magic, and musical theatre, among many oth- ers). Although historical, critical, or analytical studies are of special interest, more theoretical projects, if not the dominant thrust of a study, but utilized as important underpinning or as a historiographical or analytical method of exploration, are also of interest. Textual studies of drama or other types of less traditional performance texts are also germane to the series if placed in their cultural, historical, social, or political and economic context. There is no geographical focus for this series and works of excellence of a diverse and international nature, including comparative studies, are sought. The editor of the series is Don B. Wilmeth (EMERITUS, Brown University), Ph.D., University of Illinois, who brings to the series over a dozen years as editor of a book series on American theatre and drama, in addition to his own extensive expe- rience as an editor of books and journals. He is the author of several award-winning books and has received numerous career achievement awards, including one for sus- tained excellence in editing from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education.
