"Everything about Cinderella" (musical): reviews. Authors, actors and roles

"Everything in Cinderella" is a musical, that from the first scenes conquers the hearts of spectators. The high popularity of this work is inseparably linked with the stellar composition of the authors, among them Dmitri Bykov, Pauls and the Slot group.

An unusual occurrence

One of the recent theatrical works, which received a lot of controversial reviews from critics and viewers, is the performance "All About Cinderella". The first thing that viewers should know about staging is that it goes beyond the standard shows. Many viewers immediately stated that the tale evokes ambiguous impressions. However, a big plus - eccentricity, good humor and symbolism. Each character is a deep personality. Character characters are clearly read through their costumes and makeup.

The guests of the theater note that the performance is going on very quickly, because "Everything about Cinderella" is a musical. The duration of the performance is 2 hours 40 minutes with intermission.

Many spectators celebrate light and music. Positive feedback is given to the scenery. An excellent addition to the amazing show is the video series. At a new level is computer graphics. This representation is a variety of colors and images. Each character is dressed in an amazing, almost space suit, according to the audience.

Star Composition

The lyrics themselves are deep and pathos. Many viewers say that you need to think about words. One of the authors of the texts is Sergey Plotov. This Russian screenwriter graduated from the music school in the class of "Actor of the Dramatic Theater." For some time he worked on materials for radio and television programs, and also wrote scripts for student parties. Many times he was invited to create popular TV shows. He wrote several episodes for the series "My Fair Nanny" and "Who's the boss in the house?". Many spectators note that, probably, because of the work of this writer, the musical became so lively and bright.

Another author of the text and the author of the idea is Dmitry Bykov. This talented person works in different genres of literature. He is a good poet, writer, critic and author of texts. Among his projects are such popular works as "Citizen Poet" and "Mr. Good". It should be pointed out that it was Bykov who first had to write the script. Many viewers like the unique style of this poet. His handwriting is also clearly visible in this production.

The birth of a new fairy tale

The idea to create a unique show on the whole well-known topic appeared quite a long time ago. First, the authors wanted to write a good children's tale. However, very soon the material that they obtained turned out to be age-specific. Watch it can children from 12 years. However, it should be noted that children are allowed in the hall.

As soon as it became known about the unusual adaptation, the artistic director of the theater and the famous critic Mikhail Shvydkoi invited the famous foreign composer to cooperate. He became a Latvian Raymond Pauls. So very soon started a fruitful work on a completely new project.

Already in October 2014, the Russian public enjoyed the premiere. The main role of Cinderella then was in Ksenia Larina. Later this image was also tried on by Ekaterina Novosyolova. The first time the prince was played by Denis Kotelnikov. Subsequently, Ivan Koryakovsky joined the star team. Most recently, the main male role was won by another famous artist - Stanislav Belyaev.

Not a childish story?

Especially the school liked the play. Young viewers were very happy that now their favorite heroine of fairy tales is singing, because the production "All About Cinderella" is a musical. Toddlers' reviews are very emotional. Some of their scenes frankly mixed. It was especially pleasant to look at actions where the turns of events were different from the book. Every child who was at the show, as the parents say, would be happy to visit this presentation again.

But, despite the fact that children are intrigued, many adults say that this performance is not intended for schoolchildren. Including viewers unpleasantly hit by some plot twists.

Although in general the parents' feedback is positive. This adaptation of a fairy tale does not teach something very good to children, but it does not push them to negativity. Small viewers go to the theater for a familiar story, but they will not see him on stage. Adults are more interested in the stellar composition of the author's team, among which there is Raymond Pauls. But his name does not tell children anything. We can say that everyone finds something of their own in this work.

Unordinary plot

The authors present an old, kind and well-known tale in a new light that is not entirely understandable to contemporaries. So, for example, the dear and respectable Cinderella here turns into a loser with inelegant manners. Her friendly fairy godmother is a kind of criminal authority that goes with a pumpkin bomb. The evil sisters of the main character, as always, are crafty and mean. However, in this production they are Siamese twins and wear chicken nests on their heads. Later it also turns out that the king, who walks with a candlestick on his head, was in love with a fairy when he was young. In addition, characters from other fairy tales appear in the play. There is an unbalanced forester who pursues a woodcutter, who later turns out to be a prince.

Some viewers believe that the production "All about Cinderella" is intended for the female audience. The musical (reviews about which people of different sex and age leave), as the authors state, is not intended for a certain age category. A fresh storyline and an unusual presentation of the material will please everyone.

It should be noted that many boys, after they hear the name of the play, refuse to go on a "maiden" production. But after the first act we are very glad that we visited this show.

Borrowed events

Another point that the spectators did not like was the finale of a good and beautiful story. Everyone noticed the obvious suicidal tendencies of the main character. Therefore, Cinderella's death was an unpleasant surprise for many. Of course, then the prince revives his beloved, and in the finale of the play everyone is happy.

It should not be forgotten that "Everything about Cinderella" is a musical. Reviews about the songs are also very different. The guests of the theater note that although the compositions, even without profanity and vulgar scenes, are still too complicated for a young audience. Spectators are puzzled: if the production is recommended as a child, then the compositions should be appropriate. But, despite this, the melodies are very pleasant and memorable.

The audience notes that if it were not for everyone the famous name of Cinderella, a fairy tale would hardly be attributed to the work of Charles Perot. There are many analogies with other literary works. For example, "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White".

Help professionals

The main advantage of this work is that the performance "All About Cinderella" is a musical. Songs and dances are very interesting and energetic. The audience says that the choreography is set at the highest level. Everyone dances on stage: from the king to the mice. The rooms are refined to the smallest detail. Due to the fact that all the artists are dressed in fancy costumes, their movements seem fantastic to the audience. Theater guests also note the fact that music does not interfere with watching the storyline and does not distract from the main theme.

Many of these compositions immediately win the hearts of listeners. And this is not surprising, because professionals have been working on the musical accompaniment. The performers are the rock band Slot. The song was perfected by Sergei Bogolyubsky.

Surprise on the disc

Spectators complain that it is very hard to make out the words. Often after a concert in the foyer of the theater, CDs with songs that were played on stage are sold. But here, guests can also expect disappointment. Often the actors playing and singing in the play you have attended do not record. Therefore, a strange voice is heard on the tape.

In order for the house to not have unpleasant surprises, it is better to remember the name of the artist that you liked, and see if there is his voice on the disc, so recommend the audience.

Artists do not allow the public to forget that "Everything about Cinderella" is a musical. The actors have excellent, well-placed voices. And for the next day to enjoy your favorite songs, you should carefully read the packaging of the disc on which the performers are indicated.

For example, the role of stepmother is played by Elena Moiseeva and Anna Guchenkova. These two women have completely different voices. Nevertheless, each of them has their own fans.

Learning task

Attentive audience easily notes that the authors tried to portray a modern society through a fairy tale. Parents of teenagers who watched the play together with the children are very happy. They are sure that this production will teach their children to perceive life in a different way.

Cinderella, who thought that no one needed, immediately needed a prince, a king and a forester. Sisters who constantly quarrel must prove to the audience that stupidity can not control a person. And the prince, disguised as a lumberjack, gives a good example of the fact that one should love for the inner world, and not for the financial situation.

Despite the ambiguous criticism, a very good fairy tale "All About Cinderella" (musical). Reviews and impressions of the performance of each must be their own.
