Dispo: Résumé  Synopsis  Génèse  Liste chansons  

It was written and produced for the Liverpool '08 Capital of Culture celebrations and featured a professional cast of principals and an ensemble from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.

Genèse: Adelphi won the 2008 TMA Award for Best Musical Production and was nominated for Best Regional Production at the 2009 WhatsOnStage Awards. A section of the show was performed at the awards ceremony at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Sunday 15 February 2009. The section starred Julie Atherton as Young Alice and Tom Oakley as Thompson, supported by an ensemble of final year students from Arts Ed school in London. It was choreographed by Andrew Wright and conducted by Mark Collins. The show also received a West End showcase at the Trafalgar Studios in November 2008 conducted by Elliot Davis. The show received a full staging in London's Union Theatre in March 2010

Résumé: 1930’s Liverpool, and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood pour off the luxury liners for their first taste of England; a night in the city’s most fashionable hotel. Amidst the chaos and decadence, no-nonsense Alice from Reception has fallen for the dashing Thompson from accounts - but fate, Hollywood, World War Two and a dizzying array of staff and guests intervene in an epic Liverpool love story spanning sixty years.

Dispo: Résumé  

This original musical will adapt the plot, score and characters of Bizet's opera Carmen to tell a new love story set amidst events in Francesco Goya's paintings of the Dos de Mayo Uprising in 1808.

Genèse:

Résumé: Bizet's unforgettable tunes, reimagined as musical theatre, tell the story of a dangerous, seductive Spanish heroine recklessly playing with her fate and that of her lovers on the teeming streets of Seville in 1820. An easily accessible invigoratingly audacious look at perhaps the most familiar, beloved and popular operas ever written.

Genèse:

Résumé: A family musical. Never one to ignore a challenge, adventurer Phileas Fogg, his servant Passepartout and the beautiful Aouda face the most fearsome and fantastic days of their lives. They risk everything to prove that the world can be circled in eighty days - and they've saved a place aboard for you! Brave the waves onboard the ship, climb the clouds in the basket of a balloon, hold on for dear life to the back of a bad tempered elephant - when time's this tight, no transport's too treacherous. But what of arrest, bandits, evil enemies, and the love of a lady? Will such surprises trip up his triumphant return?

Commentaires : This was its first West End showing in over 50 years (though it did have an outer-London revival in 1999). It was welcomed as a jolly piece of dated nostalgia.

Commentaires : Après le flop de la création à Londres en 1999 (moins de 10 semaines alors que la création Off-Broadway a tenu 5.000 représentations), ce revival a subi de nombreuses modifications et une anglicisation pour la rendre plus "accessible". Cependant, “despite references to Charles and Camilla and shopping at Bluewater, the show still seems like a series of US sitcom snapshots” (The Times).

Commentaires : Following the previous year’s success in fitting “Sound of Music” into the Battersea Arts Centre’s main house - which is more a gymnasium than an auditorium - this was again judged to be a great success.

Commentaires : Sasha Regan for the Union Theatre and The Steam Industry
This production of King Lear puts a mother at the heart of the action - supposing that it is a queen who, weary of public office, divides the kingdom amongst her daughters. But the old woman finds it impossible to retire gracefully and as her mental faculties begin to fail she's cast out by her eldest children, as their sister prepares to lead a French invasion in retaliation. Meanwhile the Duke of Gloucester's equally ruthless son plots to steal his brothers inheritance and the younger generations align in a savage plot to mercilessly destroy their parents. But will they succeed?

Commentaires : A bold and audacious new staging of Shakespeare's classic thriller in which the General Othello and his new wife, Desdemona are psychologically tortured and destroyed by a jealous, subordinate, Iago.

Phil Willmott's new interpretation of Shakespeare's classic thriller of jealousy, illicit passion and racial tension is set during the British Raj and commemorates the centenary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (also known as the Amritsar massacre).
Commentaires longs: A bold and audacious new staging of Shakespeare's classic thriller in which the General Othello and his new wife, Desdemona are psychologically tortured and destroyed by a jealous, subordinate, Iago.

Phil Willmott's new interpretation of Shakespeare's classic thriller of jealousy, illicit passion and racial tension is set during the British Raj and commemorates the centenary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (also known as the Amritsar massacre).
One of the most infamous and shameful incidents of Britain's colonial rule of India, this atrocity saw British & Indian officers fire into a gathering of unarmed local protesters. The resulting international and local condemnation was a major factor in the ensuing deterioration of British authority in India leading to the eventual collapse of the Raj. The British had recently instigated a disastrous scheme whereby selected Indian soldiers were to be promoted into higher officer ranks in the British Army. These Indian cadets were sent to study in Great Britain at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in anticipation of promotion to King's Commissioned Officers, with full authority over British troops. However, far from home, at Sandhurst these Indian recruits were pitted against upper-class Englishmen and mercilessly bullied in conditions alien to their upbringing and experience. Of the first batch of 25 cadets admitted ten failed to meet the requisite standard, two died, two resigned, and one was deprived of his commission. This adaptation presumes that English Army Chaplain, Cassio, and the Indian Officer recruit, Othello, survived their Sandhurst training together, becoming friends, during which time they first met Desdemona. Upon graduation Othello has been fast tracked to the rank of General in an Indian outpost, now under the jurisdiction of Desdemona's father, The Duke. She and Othello secretly marry and he sends for his old friend, Cassio to be his Lieutenant. Iago, Othello's sociopathic English Orderly (a soldier assigned to a commissioned officer as a personal servant), is prevented from raising any higher in the army by his lower-class background and is deeply resentful of Othello. With the reluctant participation of his newly arrived wife, Emilia, Iago plots the destruction of the Indian General, who is already isolated and conflicted by his role collaborating in and enforcing the British occupancy of his native land. This production is running as part of Phil Willmott's 4th Essential Classics Season at the Union Theatre.

Commentaires : Phil Willmott’s annual Christmas musical at the pocket-handkerchief sized BAC stage was established as a source of exuberant, low-cost, high-entertainment theatre - and, once again - his production received excellent notices.

Commentaires : This was a cut-down production, accompanied by just two pianos, but with a cast of 40. It was extremely well received by the critics and public, and acclaimed as a triumphant example of how a fringe, shoe-string production could work just as well as the grandest of stagings.

Commentaires : Originally a 1933 German play “Viktor und Viktoria” by Rheinhold Schunzel, the first English version was the 1935 Jessie Matthew film, “Just a Girl”. Blake Edwards re-made the film in 1982 with music and lyrics by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse, and with his wife, Julie Andrews in the lead. In 1995 he adapted this into a Broadway musical, again starring Julie Andrews. Extra songs were needed and Mancini and Bricusse started work on the project, but sadly Mancini died, and newcomer Frank Wildhom completed the score. It opened in New York in October 1995 and ran for 734 performances. Julie Andrews was nominated for a Tony but rejected the nomination because, as she explained in a curtain speech, “However, flattered as I am, and honoured to be nominated, I have to say how deeply sad I am to be the only nominee in this extraordinarily gifted company.” However, Julie Andrews and the show received and won several other awards from the Drama Desk and Outer Circle critics. Julie Andrews stayed with the show for almost two years, during which she took a short holiday when Liza Minelli stood in. A great scandal ensued when the leading man walked out in protest at Minelli’s poor performance. When Julie Andrews finally left the show in June 1997 she was replaced with Raquel Welch, but without its legendary star, the show came off very quickly.
