I need more ppl I can talk to about Chorzów Bombalurina cause c'mon! Look at her!! She's pink! I love her so much!!!

Magda Wojtacha, Chorzów 2022-ongoing

So, this year was amazing! Choreography was a bit changed, for better, most of the time. I absolutely love a scene, when Demeter attacked Macavity. He catches her and his paw is ready to strike and... his face softens and his hand gently petts her chin. She pushes him away and THIS is a strike he can't take anymore. Not a fight, but someone who he cares about, throws away his affection. It was so beautiful!

The second magical moment was when Jemima, who was singing with Grizabella, she came to Demeter, touched her paws with the expression "I can do that, but it's you who SHOULD touch her" and Demeter is absolutely puzzled, maybe a bit afraid... Their faces, all of those tiny expressions...

This time a different actor was playing Tugger, and that was a better option. Better voice in my opinion. Rumpus Cat was sung with more comedy undertones.

I absolutely LOVE this show and next year I will also be there.

Still, we have three main ships, Tugger/Cassandra, Munkustrap/Bombalurina, Alonzo/Demeter, but, let's be clear here, every ship you want is here, by a moment at least. I was in heaven when Tugger caress Munkustrap, and it clearly wasn't unwelcome. (That was new, last time they didn't do anything like that!)

[W trakcie pisania] Waitress (UMFC)

"Waitress" to jeden z moich ulubionych musicali. Kocham soundtrack z Broadway'u, obejrzałam film, dwa razy byłam w Romie i za każdym razem wyszłam tak samo zachwycona, a teraz tylko nadmiar pracy sprawia, że jeszcze nie obejrzałam nagrania spektaklu, które niedawno pojawiło się na streamingu.

Nigdy nie patrzyłam na spektakl bezkrytycznie, zawsze irytowała mnie postać Spoxa i niektóre elementy narracji. Ale dopiero pisząc recenzję "Waitress" w wykonaniu studentów Uniwersytetu Muzycznego Fryderyka Chopina zdałam sobie sprawę ile rzeczy mi nie gra w tym libretcie.

Także wygląda na to, że będę pisać oddzielny tekst, w którym będę się znęcać nad sztuką, którą uwielbiam, wkładając ją do tego samego koszyka co "We Will Rock You".

1989: thought dump

I've heard about 1989 the musical, but it's playing in theatres far from Warsaw and I've been frankly busy this past year with funerals and health crises. Now I've finally seen a live proshot (whee, guess who recorded it too) and this is nowhere near a review, these are absolutely random thoughts:

first impression: this is so very Hamilton

second impression: damn, this is in dialogue with Hamilton at the same time it's in dialogue with Mickiewicz, five gallons of national mythos and three layers of recent history and hello LMM you could have done so much more with women

(third part of this thought was seeing Aleksander Kwaśniewski's entrance and losing my shit laughing because of COURSE he nicks his entrance from a shiny American musical because that's exactly his style)

more musical should have spooky a capella folk songs

This is stuff from my childhood and just before; I was watching with my mother and she says all the period details were spot on, especially the song about how everyone has the same stuff in their home because it's all there is in the shops.

(my family had some different stuff, but I had the advantage of three grandparents allowed to travel including one actually allowed to go west and the fourth one was a doctor who got art from her patients)

so so much dialogue with our recent history too and the Women's Strike and the sheer tangible anger of women who won't be putting up with this shit anymore

I'm sure I'm missing like half the hiphop references but this is so much a crew musical, no clear leads but each person getting their due, and the lyrics are fantastic and rich and I need to watch three more times and someone needs to put them up on whatever the Polish equivalent of Genius is just so I can read all the annotations

honestly the hiphop thing works because it's Polish hiphop with its poetry and wild swings and melancholy and anger, and because the events of 1980 to 1989 created the deprivation and shock that gave birth to Polish hiphop

it especially works in the Nobel prize scene where it's so very meta on the way men put words in women's mouths

the actors are just *chef's kiss* and the proshot really picked up on all the emoting, the Teatr TV crew really know their stuff

gods, the whole thing with the black market meat that thaws and leaves bloodstains on the hands of the woman who is dying and the shirt of the man left behind, and I remember that from childhood, the way black market butchered meat would just bleed everywhere

In conclusion, I suspect I feel the way Black theatre kids felt watching Hamilton for the first time, and I need this one on DVD.

Veure 'mar i cel' amb gent que va veure l'obra al 1988 es putu catàrtic i quasi ploro

[greenelectricsky]

And more costumes, because I found some pictures on the internet. Mostly courtesy of fan Cats wiki and some other photos more or less oficial.

And all of those beauts are hard work of Dorota Sabak-Ciołkosz and Magdalena Wiluś.

John Adams's new opera Antony and Cleopatra was given a “European premiere fuelled by molten chemistry,” exclaims the Observer’s Fiona Maddocks in a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of the Gran Teatre del Liceu production, conducted by the composer and starring Gerald Finley and Julia Bullock. “In his ambitious and richly orchestrated 2022 opera, the American composer makes Shakespeare his own, with a star cast to match.” You can read it here.

Maddocks goes on to say: “The score bristles, spurts, thrums with originality … the orchestral writing dazzles. You can’t hear everything in one go: this is a substantial work … layered and subtle, yielding its riches slowly … Rewarding? Decidedly.”
