The night of the premiere of "Les Miserables" came to an end. After the performance, the audience's thunderous applause lasted for a full fifteen minutes. The crew members came to the stage five times before and after the curtain call, but they still failed to meet the expectations and excitement of the audience. After the five curtain calls ended, the applause still echoed nearly. In two minutes, the curtain ended reluctantly.
Truly interprets the endurance. This is a glorious sight in the West End of London that has not been seen for many years.
After entering the 21st century, the West End has been deeply plunged into the quagmire. In the past 12 years, only two plays have achieved real success. The 2008 musical "Leaves Out of My World" ", the 2010 musical "Matilda", both of which are works with children as the main perspective.
But even for these two works, their success is still far behind compared to fifteen or twenty years ago-they simply cannot match the pinnacle dramas such as "Miss Saigon" and "The Phantom of the Opera". , It can barely be regarded as reaching the industry average level of the year.
Tonight, the "Les Miserables" of the Almeida Theater has once again regained its glory, even when compared with the "Les Miserables" of the Queen's Theatre at its peak. More importantly, this is a six-hour play. Such a lengthy experimental work is daunting, but it has achieved the most successful audience response in the 21st century.
Five curtain calls! Fifteen minutes of applause! The audience thundered! At the peak of the 70s and 80s, this was also enough feedback for the first performance to make a sensation for everyone.
Of course, this is just the premiere, this is just the audience. The Queen’s Theatre version of "The Miserable World" is called brilliance; "Out of My World" and "Matilda" are considered to have failed to reach their peak performance. The difference is naturally not the brilliance of the premiere night. , But lies in the follow-up performance and box office lasting.
Take "Out of My World" as an example.
This play was officially launched in 2008 and has been on stage until now. It has never been offline. After the first version of Tom Holland, the young cast has changed several batches, and there is still no crisis of withdrawal in the short term. Their attendance rate is very stable, can not be said to be popular, but they have always been able to maintain profitability and attract more new audiences.
There is indeed a gap between such achievements and the popular dramas at their peak.
The premiere night of the Almeida Theater reproduced the grand occasion twenty-five years ago, but this was only the first step; next, how the overall performance of the show, the overall reputation and box office, replaced After the cast, how attractive is the audience? This is the real test.
This is the first level that the new version of "Les Miserables" must pass before the coming test.
In the film industry, the opinions of film critics are one of the important reference standards, but they are not the key to determining the box office direction.
For example, the film critics of popcorn movies often face more challenges. The more fierce the critics, the better at the box office, the "Twilight" series and the "Transformers" series are typical representatives; another example is the film critics. Some movies that are not too cold may have been poked in the preferences of specific people, romantic movies, movies that spread religious beliefs, and certain black movies, they can still get good box office.
After all, movies are a commodity. This product can achieve good results as long as it caters to the preferences of its audience. Film critics are just a part of the audience.
But the drama is different. The opinion of the critic is the key factor in determining the outcome.
Although both the West End and Broadway in London have a lot of amateur audiences, which may be tourists or crowds of onlookers who join in the excitement, for them, how to choose the repertoire is a difficult problem, so they often choose the most popular repertoire or get close to them. The advancement of a friend, or the recommendation of an authoritative person.
In other words, the audience for drama is inherently very narrow, that is, those specific people who have a deep interest in and research on art, literature, and performance. This art form is inherently niche and special, and can be compared to literary and artistic films and independent films.
Therefore, professional audiences or senior fans, in fact, are the same audience as drama critics. The only difference is that the critics make a living on this. They are more professional, more authoritative, and more profound. Their opinions can often provide the audience with first-hand reference materials, and the audience will also buy it.
It is precisely because of this that the works admired by the critics can often obtain corresponding excellent market response. Even those experimental works with high and low scores, as long as they have real materials, can occupy a place in the West End of London.
On the contrary, the bad reviews of drama critics will quickly evolve into a wave of negative feedback. There may be audiences who enter the theater to watch them with curiosity or research, but often the performance time cannot be sustained.
People in the industry always say this: the pen of a critic is enough to ruin a play.
In the creation of movies and plays, similar plots even appear. The theater manager begged the critics to be merciful. Even if they postponed the release of negative comments for a few days, they were willing to pay a high price; or, the critics had a personal grudge with a certain actor, such as hate because of love, and then Deliberately write negative reviews, completely ruining the actor's future.
This sounds magical, but in the theater circle, it is real. The current situation in 2012 still exists, but thanks to the existence of the Internet, the comment of the critics is no longer the only criterion. People can also communicate and understand through the Internet, which relieves the criticism of the critics to a certain extent. The situation of covering the sky with hands.
Now, the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables" is facing such a test, how would the critics comment on it?
After the performance, Alistair-Smith did not rush home and immediately began to write a review of the drama; instead, he left the Almeida Theatre for a walk all the way and walked on the cold and lively streets of London at night, with no purpose. Just use his feet to explore in the night.
As the crowd left, the midnight bell had already rang, but the faces of all the audience were filled with excitement and excitement, and they could not disperse for a long time; the reporters who were watching at the entrance of the theater couldn't wait to interview the audience's thoughts. , Trying to piece together the complete outline of today’s play.
Alistair bid farewell to his colleagues and walked alone in London at midnight. He needs to calm down and clear his mind. The six-hour repertoire is full of countless contents, and the huge amount of information is vented down. He needs to digest and understand well, find a clear clue in the mixed thoughts, and connect everything together.
It is precisely because I like this work that I need to be more cautious.
After walking for more than an hour, he beckoned to stop a taxi and returned home. However, after returning home, Aristel still did not rush to write. He opened a bottle of red wine and sat on the sofa, letting the sound of TV come, savoring the red wine carefully, and enjoying such a beautiful day.
Such a day is really a long time gone; enjoy the beauty of drama again, and once again see the foundation of drama, this is the network culture in the fast food era that cannot be replaced and eroded, and it is also the core of the long-lasting heritage of art. He admired John Cod's courage, and he admired Renly Hall's determination even more.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the surging Aristol still felt uncomfortable, and only then began to write.
"I have been trying to find the right language to express this play, but I failed.
Because this is not just a work of art, it is also a picture of the times. It magnificently outlines the era when the people were ill-fated, the lives were overwhelmed, and the morals collapsed, and then the people who lived at the time were drawn out. Such a work is really too grand, too beautiful, and too moving, so that the language loses its color.
Needless to say, this is a masterpiece. Is it perfect? I reserve my attitude; but I am willing to pay high respect and respect for this work. So, perhaps, perfection is a suitable word.
John Cod has really developed his hands and feet in the play, the script and the stage have reached the peak of magnificent waves, starting with a small person and ending with a small person. The little man at the beginning, bearing the weight of the times, is struggling; the little man at the end breaks free from the shackles of the times and is reborn.
As Charles Dickens wrote: This is the best age, this is the worst age; this is the wisdom age, this is the stupid age; this is the faith age, this is the doubt.
Dickens once used vigorous and profound brushstrokes to outline the scenes of London and Paris in the industrial period. Similarly, Victor Hugo outlines the Parisian era with his compassionate, delicate and magnificent brushwork.
Now, John Cod re-presents this era and interprets the core of Dickens and Hugo. Undoubtedly ~www.novelhall.com~ This time of artistic exploration and adventure, Cod won a great victory.
This may be the most worth watching play in the West End of London in the twenty-six years since the Queen’s Theatre version of "Les Miserables" came on stage.
If the audience still has doubts about the six-hour duration, then I will give you a reason that cannot be rejected: Lanly Hall.
The 22-year-old actor presents the greatest and most moving part of the performance. It perfectly combines emotions and roles, roles and stories, and stories with the times. It is smart and delicate, vast and magnificent. The performance has injected the soul into the whole play, and it truly belongs to the soul of Victor Hugo!
Watching Hall's performance is a real enjoyment, like a symphony, soft and majestic, harmonious and agitated, that dazzling light has become the eternal light on the stage of the Almeida Theater. It is true that my vocabulary is so barren and trapped that I cannot describe the excitement of the scene, even one tenth, because drama always belongs to the theater.
Every audience is welcome to walk into the Almeida Theater, watch this play, and enjoy the beauty of six hours. **** Christ, I discovered for the first time that six hours is too short. "
