1971 - Actif
The Donmar Warehouse lies little more than a stone’s throw to the east of Seven Dials and the Cambridge Theatre, at the northern extremity of Covent Garden, and occupies part of the upper floor of a former brewery warehouse dating from the mid-19th century. Along with the surrounding area, Earlham Street has been elegantly manicured since the 1970s when the fruit and vegetable market moved away. However, even as a pedestrian it is easy to bypass the theatre without registering its presence.
Extending for 23 sheer bays along the north side of the street, the three-storey, yellow stock brick building backs on to Short's Gardens, with the former Neal’s Passage linking the two roads to form a triangular plot. As part of the overall upgrading of Covent Garden, the former warehouse was converted to a shopping mall in 1992, sacrificing its vaulted and cast-iron-columned industrial qualities for a contrived but friendly new interior. Within the development, the brewing flame is kept burning by the Freedom Brewing Company, dispensing pints of beer or lager brewed within the warehouse complex.
In the early 1920s the premises were in use as a pioneering colour film studio; later they were taken over for use as a banana warehouse. It was the meeting of the dedicated theatrical minds of Donald Albury and Margot Fonteyn that inspired the conversion to theatre use in 1960 - and the meeting of their forenames that gave it its title. Basic in every sense, in those early days the Donmar was mainly used for Royal Shakespeare Company rehearsals. From 1977 to 1981 the company used it as a studio theatre; then it decamped to the Barbican, and since 1981 the Warehouse has become a premier 'fringe’ theatre.
Architects Renton Howard Wood Levine were responsible for the sensitive rehabilitation works, which combine simplicity with great intimacy. Access to the theatre is via a single bay within the Earlham Street façade, into a narrow, white-painted brick entrance foyer and box office. Metal staircases with heavy wire balustrading ensure that the building’s former life as a warehouse is not forgotten.
Above the foyer, the curving bars of the stalls and circles are formed around a communal lift shaft shared with the shops below. The auditorium Is planned on the courtyard principle with a galleried balcony along three sides around a flexible protruding stage without wings or proscenium arch. Black-painted walls and bench seating sufficient for an audience of 251 people, covered in rust-tinted cloth ensure a sombre ambience, placing heavy reliance - as in so many modern theatres - on the plentiful lighting banks suspended above the acting area. This is a theatre that should be more widely known and appreciated, offering a diverse range of new writing, contemporary reappraisals of European classics, British and American drama and small scale musical theatre.
Theatrical producer Donald Albery formed Donmar Productions around 1953, with the name derived from the first three letters of his name and that of his friend Dame Margot Fonteyn, the prima ballerina. In 1961, he bought the warehouse, a building that in the 1870s had been a vat room and hops warehouse for the local brewery in Covent Garden, and in the 1920s had been used as a film studio and then the Covent Garden Market banana-ripening depot. His son Ian Albery, a producer and theatre design consultant, converted the warehouse into a private rehearsal studio for Fonteyn's London Festival Ballet.
In 1977 the Royal Shakespeare Company acquired it as a theatre and renamed it the Warehouse, converting and equipping at "immense speed". The first show, which opened on 18 July 1977, was Schweik in the Second World War, directed by Howard Davies, which transferred from the Other Place in Stratford. The electricity for the theatre was turned on just 30 minutes before curtain up, and the concrete steps up to the theatre were still wet.
The Warehouse was an RSC workshop as much as a showcase and the seasons were remarkably innovative, including Trevor Nunn's acclaimed Stratford 1976 Macbeth, starring Judi Dench and Ian McKellen, which opened at the Covent Garden venue in September 1977 before transferring to the Young Vic. The RSC went on to stage numerous acclaimed productions, both original and transfers from The Other Place, Stratford. In 1980 nearly all the RSC company were involved in Nicholas Nickleby so a new two hander was found from the pile of submitted scripts. Educating Rita, with Julie Walters and Mark Kingston directed by Mike Ockrent, went on to be one of the RSC's biggest successes.
From 1983-89 it came under the artistic directorship of Nica Burns.
In 1990 Roger Wingate was responsible for the acquisition of the Donmar Warehouse. He completely rebuilt and re-equipped it in the form it is known today. Prior to its reopening in 1992, Roger Wingate appointed Sam Mendes as the theatre’s first Artistic Director. As a board member and theatrical producer, Roger Wingate remains closely involved with the Donmar to the present day.
Under Sam Mendes (1992-2002)
The Donmar became an independent producing house in 1992 with Sam Mendes as artistic director. His opening production was Stephen Sondheim's Assassins. He followed this with a series of classic revivals.
Among Mendes' productions were John Kander and Fred Ebb's Cabaret, Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie, Stephen Sondheim's Company, Alan Bennett's Habeas Corpus and his farewell duo of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and Twelfth Night, which transferred to the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
As artistic director Mendes gave opportunities to many young directors. Matthew Warchus's production of Sam Shepard's True West, Katie Mitchell's of Beckett's Endgame, David Leveaux's of Sophocles's Elektra and Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing were amongst the most critically acclaimed of the decade.[citation needed] Mendes' successor Michael Grandage directed some of the key productions of the later part of Mendes' tenure, including Peter Nichols's Passion Play and Privates on Parade and Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along.
Under Michael Grandage (2002-2011)
In 2002 Michael Grandage succeeded Sam Mendes as Artistic Director. Grandage appointed Douglas Hodge and Jamie Lloyd as Associate Directors; in 2007 Rob Ashford succeeded Hodge.
The Donmar Warehouse produces a mixed programme of new plays, revivals and musicals. For its revivals of foreign plays, the company regularly commissions new translations or versions, including Ibsen's The Wild Duck (David Eldridge), Racine's Phaedra (Frank McGuinness), Dario Fo's Accidental Death of An Anarchist (Simon Nye) and Strindberg's Creditors (David Greig).
Its musical productions have included Grand Hotel and the Stephen Sondheim works, Pacific Overtures, Merrily We Roll Along, Company, Into the Woods and the 1992 production of Assassins that opened Sam Mendes' tenure as Artistic Director.
Under the umbrella of Warehouse Productions, the theatre sometimes opens shows in the West End. Examples of this include 1999's Suddenly Last Summer and 2005's Guys and Dolls.
Many well-known actors have appeared at the theatre, including Nicole Kidman (The Blue Room), Gwyneth Paltrow (Proof), Ian McKellen (The Cut) and Ewan McGregor (Othello).
With only 250 seats, the tickets for Othello starring McGregor were in such demand that Grandage feared it could become "a bad news story". His response was to plan a one-year season at the 750-seat Wyndham's Theatre, four major new productions presented by Donmar West End. It commenced on 12 September 2008, with Kenneth Branagh in the title role of Chekhov's Ivanov, given in a new version by Tom Stoppard and directed by Grandage. The West End season continued with Derek Jacobi in Twelfth Night, Judi Dench in Yukio Mishima's Madame de Sade and Jude Law in Hamlet, all directed by Grandage.
Following the Donmar West End season, the Donmar held three productions internationally: transfers of Red, Piaf and Creditors, to Broadway, Madrid and the Brooklyn Academy of Music respectively. Furthermore, starting from the 30th of September until December, the Donmar will have the first of three year resident spots at Trafalgar Studios 2, in order to showcase its past Resident Assistant Directors.
In late 2010, the Donmar led the UK celebrations to mark Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday to recognise his long association with the theatre. It included a new production of Passion directed by Jamie Lloyd.
In February 2011, the Donmar collaborated with the National Theatre Live programme to broadcast its production of King Lear, starring Derek Jacobi, to cinemas around the world. With over 350 screens in 20 countries, this single performance of King Lear was seen by more than 30,000 people.
Under Josie Rourke (2012-onwards)
In January 2012, Josie Rourke became the third Artistic Director in the Donmar's history. The first production under her leadership was George Farquhar's The Recruiting Officer, which Rourke also directed. The production garnered widespread critical acclaim. Her first season also included Robert Holman's 1987 play, Making Noise Quietly, directed by Peter Gill; Jack Thorne's new version of The Physicists by Swiss playwright Friedrich Duerrenmatt; Brian Friel's Philadelphia, Here I Come!, directed by Lyndsey Turner; and Rourke's own production of Jean Racine's Berenice, in a new translation by Alan Hollinghurst.
Infos complémentaires:
With just 250 seats and 20 standing positions (only on sale once all the seats are sold), the Donmar provides a uniquely intimate setting to experience award-winning theatre.
The auditorium has seating on three sides of the stage and on two levels. The seating is bench style so there is space to place coats and bags underneath as we do not have a cloakroom (customers are reminded not to leave any baggage unattended at anytime). The auditorium is air conditioned and drinks can also be taken to your seats.
The name Donmar is an amalgamation of the names of the theatre’s founders, Donald (Albury) and Margot (Fonteyn).

Presse: "As she bows out as artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, Josie Rourke is leaving her mark on the classic musical Sweet Charity. She’s got the great Anne-Marie Duff making her musical theatre debut in the title role, a stellar roster of talent, and some of the biggest numbers in musical theatre. But, just like Charity, this production never really seems to find its feet as it flits between trying to create a super hip vibe, while keeping its traditional appeal." (London Theatre Guide)

Commentaire: The Lady from the Sea (1888) represents an important turning point in Ibsen's work. Within a few days of its publication Edmund Gosse wrote 'There is thrown over the whole play a glamour of romance, of mystery, of landscape beauty...moreover, after so many tragedies, this is a comedy...the tone is quite unusually sunny, and without a tinge of pessimism.' This play explores the hypnotic hold one person may gain over another. It is an emphatic defence of individuality, of inner struggles faced with courage and integrity. (plus)

Commentaire: Le revival mis en scène par Josie Rourke à l'occasion du trentième anniversaire de la création de la pièce. (plus)
Presse: Les critiques sont très bonnes:
"Even if Josie Rourke’s revival cannot totally trump memories of the original 1985 production, or indeed the 1988 movie, it is still an evening to richly savour." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"This is a handsome period staging, in a crumbled chateau interior, opulent with candle-chandeliers, chaise-longues, even a harpiscord – dust-sheets supplying an eerie sense of a ghost-like reprise of long-dead deeds." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"Dominic West proves superb and Janet McTeer makes a triumphant return to the West End in this revival of Christopher Hampton’s witty play." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Commentaire: A real-time play for theatre and television. Set in the final ninety minutes of polling day 2015, live and in real time, The Vote will be an unprecedented national television event. Following their celebrated collaboration on Privacy, James Graham and Josie Rourke reunite to bring you The Vote, a unique drama, marking a national event, as it happens, live and in real-time. This live television event will take place on 7 May - broadcast on More4 at the precise time and date on which the play is set. Tickets for the limited run at the Donmar (24 April - 7 May) will be available via a ballot, details of which will be published separately. (plus)
Presse: "It’s hard amid such a diverse melee and incredible team effort to single anyone out but hilarious Paul Chahidi almost steals the show as an independent candidate beadily obsessed with scrapping a one-way system." Dominic Cavendish for The Daily Telegraph
"With so many famous names in the cast, Rourke’s production occasionally feels like a charity gala." Michael Billington for The Guardian

Commentaire:
Presse: "Elegantly designed by Bunny Christie to evoke a world of minimalist modishness, this is a production that convinces one that Marber’s play is much more than the product of its time. It is an alarmingly durable, well-structured play about the distance between men and women and the restless neediness of love." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"What’s missing, though, is real passion. Rufus Sewell is on thrilling form as Larry, a dermatologist who veers between a caveman’s lust and moments of demented sensitivity. But elsewhere David Leveaux’s production feels stilted." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"Almost two decades on, the shock value has slightly eroded to leave the play’s intricate, ludic structure interestingly exposed in David Leveaux’s coolly controlled revival." Jane Shilling for The Telegraph

Commentaire:
Presse: "If there are angels up there, please answer my prayers and ensure this transfers." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"Even if it’s not a perfect show, the presentation is immaculate. Robert Jones’s design is backed by a sky-scraping pile of manuscripts, suggesting the travails of the lone writer. The performances are also excellent ..." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"There is plenty to delight eye and ear in Josie Rourke’s production but I must say I became bored of it long before the end." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"At times the score strays towards frantic pastiche and the storytelling is a bit too ingenious for its own good. But this is a smart, seductive and often very funny show." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Commentaire: In 2012, Phyllida Lloyd's all-female production of JULIUS CAESAR at the Donmar placed the play in a women's prison. It stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and challenged the idea of 'who owns Shakespeare?' In the schools workshops around the production, teachers heard one girl speak in public for the first time. It couldn't end there. HENRY IV marks the return of Phyllida Lloyd, the reunion of the director with Harriet Walter and the second instalment in what will be a trilogy of works at the Donmar from these major artists. (plus)
Presse: "The evening, though, belongs to Ashley McGuire’s corpulent, cockney and comically delightful Falstaff. The piteous sight of this hugely appealing bovver-girl getting hauled off at the end by staff like an animal being returned to her cage is frankly unforgettable." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"As a production, it is vigorously entertaining and a welcome release from the tonal monotony of male-dominated Shakespeare. But the question of why a group of women prisoners should be doing this particular play is never answered." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Purists will find much to revile: textual cuts, pulsating music, variety of accents. But this is an intimate, strikingly physical staging." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

"Robert Hastie’s revival triumphs through a smartly judged mixture of exuberance and delicate understatement, highlighting the cool precision of Elyot’s writing — an assured command of structure and a gift for incisive comedy." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Commentaire: An unusual aspect of the show is that four real audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters. Despite its success in the USA, most London critics were not impressed. (plus)
Presse: "Given the Donmar's exemplary musical track record, it is a bit of a shock to find them importing this flimsy, vacuous diversion...the highly forgettable songs seem to be imposed on the action rather than arising organically from it and many of the jokes are just as arbitrary."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"An endearing small-scale musical."
Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Ian Shuttleworth for The Financial Times

"Director Jamie Lloyd’s decision to stage this glib, candy-floss confection seems unfathomable... most of the characters are little more than glib stereotypes and the show’s mixture of satire and insufferable whimsy struck me as nauseating."

Commentaire: This revival, part of Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday celebrations, received almost unanimous critical praise and won the Evening Standard Best Musical Award, while David Thaxton won the Olivier Award for the Best Actor in a Musical. Elena Roger’s outstandingly moving performance missed out on the Best Actress in a Musical Award, which went to Sheridan Smith for “Legally Blonde” – something which caused a lot of controversy. (plus)
Presse: "...if the result is a triumph, it is because of the production's enfolding intimacy and an imaginative stroke of casting....Maybe this will never be Sondheim's most loved show; but what this production beautifully communicates is the unstoppable force of passion." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Everything about Passion is breathtaking." Mark Shenton for The Stage
"I never thought I could love Passion, and maybe now I do." Matt Wolf for The Arts Desk
"I watched Jamie Lloyd’s superb new production in a state of rapt concentration, and at the end felt I had witnessed a masterpiece...You may either love or hate this show, but it is impossible to feel indifferent to its raw power and emotional candour." Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
"Passion, despite its gorgeousness, feels cold. Not so much a passionate work as a consideration of what it means to be passionate, it has too narrow an emotional range. It shows Sondheim at his most operatic, but for all the gestures in the direction of Puccini there are no soaring arias to carry us aloft. The characters are unsympathetic, and the humourless storytelling results in their drama lacking real humanity." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"Elena Roger's Fosca is a performance to die for." Paul Callan for Daily Express
" Jamie Lloyd's Donmar revival of this rebarbative 1994 musical makes a compelling case for its power to unsettle and affront." Paul Taylor for Independent

Presse: JOHANN HARI for THE EVENING STANDARD says, " Elena Roger...has folded herself into Edith Piaf so perfectly." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Roger sings as though her lungs depend on it. Her delivery is huge and gutsy but it does not sound from the gut. Watching her in Jamie Lloyd's punchy, proscenium-arched production, I kept thinking of computer-generated images and how they annihilate any sense of real odds being overcome." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "[Elena Roger]It is a tremendous performance , buttressed by Jamie Lloyd's production which punctuates Gems's snapshot scenes with the exaggerated click of a camera shutter...if there was an instant standing ovation, it was for Roger's triumphant performance rather than the play." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Pam Gems’s 100-minute salute to the embattled life and feisty yet poignant art of Edith Piaf is sketchy, even scrappy, but then a neat, smooth play would hardly suit its defiantly unneat and unsmooth heroine. In any case, such objections dwindle to cavils, given the quality that the Argentine actress Elena Roger brings to the role of the little sparrow with the big vibrato." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "What's missing is any sense that this is a performance dragged from the actress's guts. Roger shares Piaf's diminutive stature, and she is by turns imperious, petulant, fiery and vulnerable, but I never felt as though I was being vouchsafed a glimpse into the singer's soul...Jamie Lloyd directs an efficient but curiously soulless production."

Commentaire: “Parade” was first produced on Broadway in December 1998, with a book by Alfred Uhry (author of “Driving Miss Daisy”) and music by 29 year old Jason Robert Brown. Directed by Harold Prince, it failed at the box office, despite winning six Drama Desk Awards and Tony Awards for best book and best score. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "I cannot remember when the narrative and plotting of a musical last kept me engaged, let alone gripped...Parade makes a devastating, emotional show." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "An admirably ambitious, musically daring piece that deserves praise for attempting to intertwine the political and the personal, even if in that respect it's uneven as a piece of music drama." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "The music and lyrics of Jason Robert Brown serve to reinforce rather than subvert the gripping story Alfred Uhry's book has to tell....Musicals primarily deal with romance: it is refreshing to find one that deals so eloquently with the roots of southern prejudice."CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAGH says, "Here at last comes an original musical of real substance." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "A powerful, engrossing evening."

Commentaire: Michael Grandage’s scaled-down production in the Donmar was much better received than the original short-run, lavish Dominion Theatre production twelve years earlier - though the book itself was still considered to be a handicap. This time there was much praise for the intimacy of the performances and the emotional appeal of the score. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Well-sung production...how utterly entranced and moved I was....worth a four-star rating"
PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Michael Grandage's splendid studio-sized version at the Donmar Warehouse hits you with a thrilling, complicitous immediacy."
CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "It's a stylish and enjoyable production, but... Grandage can't quite disguise the fact that Grand Hotel is often second-rate."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "It isn't a classic Berlin musical. But it manages to suggest that a hotel offers a microcosm of human experience; and, when the cast lines up against the back wall economically to evoke a disgruntled shareholders' meeting or a depleted ballet-audience, you know you are in the hands of a master director."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "If you ignore many of the lyrics — “here’s the place where the great ones walk, here’s the place where the smart ones talk” — you should enjoy tunes that have a Weimar lilt in keeping both with the period, which is 1928.....But there’s still too much dud dialogue and, if you’ll permit the paradox, too much overblown banality."
ALSTAIR MACAULAY for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "A much-needed reminder that a musical can be musically thrilling - and can count as true music drama, too. This new production at the Donmar Warehouse also leaves an intensely stylish visual impression."
LISA MARTLAND for THE STAGE says, "Intimate as the Donmar.....drawing the audience in so close that it is almost impossible not to experience the guests’ feelings of passion, hope and despair."

Commentaire: With a cast of just ten performers and four musicians in a mixed American and English company, this show had originated at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Once again it split the critics (and the audiences) into two opposing camps:
(1) This sparse, cut-down production gave the work a clarity, strength and intellectual brilliance that had been missing from the “overblown” English National Opera premiere in 1987, and marked it as one of Sondheim’s most fascinating and rewarding works of art.
(2) This production clearly reveals the show to be culturally awkward, with condescending Western attitudes offering half-baked imitations of Kabuki which come over as pier-end panto. By a slight majority, the critics hailed this as a major triumph, but there was still a significant number strongly against the show. (plus)
Presse: CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "..facetious bore....lacks pace and pep."
PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "It's a musical of ideas more than of character and, at times, the proceedings can feel a little desiccated."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "It still left me unmoved and exasperated."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "this is still a great musical that satirises America's historical determination to impose its values on other civilisations." He goes on to say, "This musical ripples with felt emotion."

Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says "It's the songs, with the acerbic vitality of words and music, that make the evening swing." THE DAILY MAIL says the production is, "outstandingly well choreographed" and describes the performances as "Stunning".
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH liked the show, saying "Though there are patches of the tune-free dissonance that can make Sondheim a trial rather than a pleasure, there are several songs here that beautifully combine Sondheim's gift for wit, melody and melancholy." However, he did not think the show was anything special saying, "I don't think the show would be in anyone's Top 20 of all-time great musicals..."
THE INDEPENDENT says, "This is a knock-out production."
THE GUARDIAN, describes it as "a glorious show" and says "A famous Broadway flop is shown to be a work of emotional substance."
THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "A total delight." And goes on to say, "Merrily We Roll Along displays all his(Sondheim) theatrical genius married to an attractive humanity."
THE TIMES says, "A splendidly spirited cast."
LISA MARTLAND for THE STAGE says, the show seemed "fragmented" with the result "that the pace is occasionally to slow.." However, she still thinks the show is a "fine production".
JANE EDWARDES for TIME OUT says, "The real pleasure here, lies in Sondheim's yearning music and lyrics...and not in the somewhat tendentious plot that surrounds them".
JOHN PETER for THE SUNDAY TIMES says, "Michael Grandage's production is warm-hearted, ironical, nimble on its feet and as bittersweet as the lyrics and the book."

Commentaire: The Donmar Warehouse has again produced a Stephen Sondheim show. They have had success in the past with Sondheim's "Assassins" and "Company", and now they have revived his 1987 musical "Into The Woods", which has both music and lyrics by Sondheim and a book by James Lapine.
> 1999 Laurence Olivier Award: Best Actress in a Musical (Sophie Thompson)
> 1999 Laurence Olivier Award nomination: Outstanding Musical Production (Info the Woods) (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH of THE EVENING STANDARD, who always seems to give Sondheim good reviews, says, "Into The Woods still emerges as a magical, psychotherapy musical, which makes adult sense of childish fairy tales."
CHARLES SPENCER of THE DAILY TELEGRAPH thought it lacked emotion and was, at times, boring. He said, "Emotional involvement, the lifeblood of all great musicals, is in desperately short supply. Only at the very end, when the bereaved baker tries to comfort his crying child, did I suddenly discover a lump in my throat."
DAVID BENEDICT of THE INDEPENDENT says, "A production whose intimacy makes you feel as if you are watching a well-acted play with music rather than being treated to a full-blown musical."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON of THE GUARDIAN says, While John Crowley's production of Sondheim and Lapine's Into The Woods offers civilised pleasure, it is also rather thinly sang. In stressing narrative rather than vocal values, it denies us much in the way of aural ecstasy."
LISA MARTLAND of THE STAGE says, It seems unlikely this interpretation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's 'Into the Woods' is going to rate highly."
The headline in THE TIMES reads, "Bumpy woodland ride".

Commentaire: Based on the 1911 Hungarian play by Ferenc Molnar, this was adapted with a bitter-sweet, tango- and waltz-filled, elegant score. (It has some remarkable parallels with Harold Pinter’s play “The Lover”). The show won a Best New Musical Award in the USA in 1995 and a major International Musical of the Year competition in Denmark in 1996, but the London critics thought that, charming as it was, it lacked bite.

Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH of The EVENING STANDARD mirrors my view when he says the musical "Never bites."
BILL HAGERTY of THE NEWS OF THE WORLD has mixed feelings describing the musical as " warm and uplifting" but goes on to say "the stardust turns to sequins and we are left with a pretty but empty illusion".
PETER HEPPLE of THE STAGE says the show " works a treat at the Donmar."
JOHN PETER of THE SUNDAY TIMES describes the show as "pleasant but slightly oversweet."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says the musical is "bright, frequently funny and reasonably tuneful."

Commentaire: Cameron Mackintosh was happy to subsidise this new and very different piece of political satire with its rock music/vaudeville/country and western score, but was allegedly furious at the dismissive critical reaction, claiming London critics were too blinkered to accept anything new and progressive. The critics considered it comic-strip melodrama, with its Kennedy-esque satire grossly overdone and so full of cynicism that not one single character could involve the audience’s sympathy or interest. However, there was praise for the music and lyrics, and some suggestions that Dempsey and Rowe could be future talents to watch.

Presse: BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE of THE TIMES is in the same mind as me saying, “The Fix lacks wit, imagination and plausibility. “
NICHOLAS DE JONGH of THE EVENING STANDARD is more scathing, describing the musical as , “..a roughly knocked-up show”, he then goes on to say “ The Fix doesn’t fit. The Donmar really ought to cut down on musicals.”
PETER HEPPLE of THE STAGE liked the first act but described the second act as taking “a downward plunge” and goes on to say that the score descends into “ pompous and ponderous rockism, which carries unfortunate memories of seventies rock musicals..”
CHARLES SPENCER of THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, he says “ No amount of fixing is going to fix The Fix. But you'll probably need one afterwards.”

Commentaire: Adapted from the Italian by Mario Fratti and based on the Fellini Film “8 1/2”. The original Broadway production had a cast of 21 women and just one man. It ran for 732 performances and won four Tony Awards. It had been given a London concert performance at the Festival Hall in 1992 with Jonathan Pryce and Liliane Montevecchi, and the resultant CD introduced the work to many enthusiasts in the UK. This was its first staged performance. It was praised for its sophistication and emotional depth, though many felt the music was too subtle and haunting, the mood too brittle and bitter-sweet to find a mass audience. Like Sondheim, this was specialist fare. (plus)

Commentaire: Cette production a été très appréciée pour les nouvelles paroles de Jeremy Sams qui reflétaient l’esprit contemporain voulu par l’original de Brecht. Il a été dépalcé dans une période future (à l'époque) - 2001 - avec le couronnement du prochain roi britannique, William V.

Commentaire: Mendes' conception was a very different show than either the original production or the rather conventional first revival. The most significant change was the character of the Emcee. The role, as played by Joel Grey, in both prior incarnations, was an asexual, malevolent character in a tuxedo with rouged cheeks. Alan Cumming's portrayal was highly sexualized, wearing suspenders (i.e. braces) around his crotch and red paint on his nipples. The cabaret number "Two Ladies" was staged with the Emcee, a cabaret girl, and a cabaret boy in drag and included a shadow play simulating various sexual positions. The score was entirely re-orchestrated, utilizing synthesizer effects and expanding the stage band, with all the instruments now being played by the cabaret girls and boys. The brutally satiric "Sitting Pretty", with its mocking references to deprivation, despair and hunger, was eliminated entirely, as it had been in the film version, and replaced with "Money". "I Don't Care Much", which was cut from the original production, was reinstated, and "Mein Herr" and "Maybe This Time", written for the film adaptation, were added to the score. Staging details differed as well; instead of "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" being performed by a male choir, the Emcee plays a recording of a boy soprano singing it. Most dramatic of all was in the final scene in which the Emcee removes his outer clothes to reveal a striped suit of the type worn by the internees in concentration camps on which were pinned a yellow badge (identifying a Jewish prisoner) and a pink triangle (denoting a homosexual prisoner). Other changes included added references to Cliff's bisexuality, including a brief scene where he kisses one of the Cabaret boys.

Commentaire: C'est avec ce spectacle que Sam Mendes a commencé son rôle, exceptionnel, de directeur artistique au Donmar Warehouse. Il a fait ressortir le côté humour noir et brillant de l'œuvre et l'a ainsi sauvée de l'opprobe critique qui l'avait accablée lors de la créatiojn américaine. La chanson "Something Just Broke" a été ajoutée dans cette production.
The original workshop production took place off-Broadway in January 1991 to a limited sold-out run, greeted variously as “a lethally brilliant musical” and “an aimless project”, but generally regarded as a bit of a flop. The London version was only slightly re-written and included an extra song - “Something Just Broke”.
It, too, was a total sell out, but this time received almost nothing but praise, and won the Critics Circle London Drama Award as the Best Musical.

Commentaire: This was Richard Kates’s second attempt to put on this satirical send-up of everything West End. An earlier attempt in August 1984 was scuppered by Andrew Lloyd-Webber refusing to have any new words to his music, thus the show received a one-night only “private” performance at the Donmar with Valerie Walsh, Tudor Davies and Cheryl Taylor. Four years later this revival featured send-ups of Liza Minelli, Tommy Steele, Julie Andrews, a well-known agent fiddling on the roof, and two well-known managers singing “Anything You can Do, I Can do Cheaper”. It was clearly aimed at the “in-crowd”, and with its 11.30pm late night slot twice a week - that is the crowd it got! (plus)
