Marisol and Juan Otero filmed in 1998 Omar Pini, Juan Rodo and Paul Lisazo in 1998
Past and this the first Disney musical in Buenos Aires
By Pablo Gorlero
In 1996, Daniel Grinbank was associated with Mexican entrepreneurs with the idea of \u200b\u200btransforming Corrientes Avenue in a Latin American simile Broadway. He began with an advertised contract he signed with Roy Disney himself to stage the musical entertainment that works in major cultural centers of Latin America and Spain. The kickoff was Beauty and the Beast in 1998, with a fantastic dazzled Buenos Aires.
And yes, although assemblies had been outstanding as Cats or Kiss of the Spider Woman could say that this musical by Linda Woolverton, with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a musical score by Alan Menken precious, was an emerging genre in the history of Argentina.
When it opened on Broadway in March 1994 and also raised admiration aroused widespread criticism for his heavy stage machinery. There was talk of a sort of "Hollywoodization" of Broadway. It was true. But is it wrong? The dispossessed can experience musical paraphernalia. Argentina
version of that time had nothing to envy the U.S.. On the contrary, had the added of a palpable energy and memorable performances.
Seniority and power of Juan Rodo, as Beast, was a perfect complement to a debutante Maria Otero, who wasted sweetness. Diego Jaraz was unstoppable as the villain, with its elasticity and grace, Gustavo Monje demonstrated that it is one of the best artists comprehensive, Omar Pini, accurate and escapades as dindon, Rodolfo Valss, dad loquísimo, and Alejandra Radano pert as Babette. The entire cast was impeccable. If even had small roles Elena Roger (one of the silly girls, for example). But there were three actors who died too soon, too soon. Nelly Fontan, delicious as wardrobe, Monica Cortes Nunez, radiating tenderness required for Potts, and Paul Lisazo, synonymous with musical comedy, whose work is unforgettable.
When opened this year, I refused to see her. "Retain the magic of more than a decade? "That could be equated impeccable cast? It took me a few months to check. The new edition of Beauty and the Beast keeps the price of classic musicals, textured and impeccably. Of course, the charm is not the same. At that time, when in the preface, the witch rose into the air and turned the young prince into a beast awakened surprise, admiration, and was Enchantment perfect for what would come next. The same happened with the armed scenic castle. When he appeared on stage, in every function you could hear a murmur in the audience gasp. Today gadgets scenic and special effects are common. And so do not arouse surprise. But it is a work in which one can not have fun.
For me the big surprise was the duo that make up Allen and Magali Sánchez Martín Ruiz, as Beauty and the Beast, newcomers in lead roles. Magali is the perfect Bella. As if the character had found his ideal interpreter. Voice, presence and charm of consolidating this work. Meanwhile, Martin Ruiz is not Rodo's imposing stature, but is discovered as an actor who was able to find the soul to her child. He knew how to make it horrific and endearing. Is a complex character that is fast transits. But Ruiz will put his soul to the Beast needed. Both make a perfect pair. Frederick Moore gets
find grace to Gaston. Relied more on the composition of the sympathetic villain in the hateful. And complies well with that purpose, properly accompanied by Roger Gonzalez as Lefou. Another role is to Babette achieved, by Ana Fontan. Both Ricardo Carlos Silveyra as Bangueses achieve very good jobs. But it is the connection between the two where one longs this endearing duo that made Lisazo and Pini in 98. The rest of the cast very well. And we have to highlight a few gems: Walter Canella, who managed to get much out of Monsieur D'Arque, a quite unremarkable, and the trio that make Florence Vitterbo, Jimena Gonzalez and Jorge Maglio (especially the latter) as the Girls Bobas .
starring roles in the two actors are back in the cast, and Rodolfo Otero Marisol Valss. Clearly, the Bella Otero Marisol previously knew what he did when he ran for another character: Mrs. Potts. Gives his character the charm you need and when he sings "Beauty and the Beast" delivers one of the highlights of the show. For Meanwhile, Rodolfo (I should count them, but perhaps the actor who has done more musicals in the country) back in at the old Maurice to his body. And his character has evolved in the same body that twelve years ago. Compose a super nice old man who becomes very alive the bond with her daughter, the heroine of the story.
