Québecois review of the 94 production in Montreal (with Patsy Gallant, Luce Dufault, Michel Pascal etc., using the 93 Furey mise en scène). Translation under the cut -- I love how they keep calling it "the Parisian Starmania" and ragging on Paris and the French lol
The Parisian Starmania was not damaged in transit
Last night, in the foyer of the Saint-Denis theatre, at the intermission of the Montreal premiere of the Parisian Starmania which was created last October at the Théatre Mogador and transported here as is -- for lack of a local producer -- Luc Plamondon was signing autographs. Near him, a very young girl was bouncing up and down, her programme in her hand, obviously overexcited at the idea of getting a scribble by the man with the smoked sunglasses.
The scene was as telling as the plethora of special effects, acrobatics, costumes, videos, pyrotechnics and fancy lighting effects which had dazzled the venue just as much as the rock opera's story and songs a few moments before. Plamondon, who neither sings, dances nor bungees down from the rafters like the Etoiles Noires -- the thugs who terrorize Monopolis -- had still found a way to live the dream that Ziggy, Zéro Janvier, Stella Spotlight and all of Monopolis's inhabitants have: last night, Plamondon was not only an artist, he was also a star. He matched his show and its triumph perfectly.
Indeed, this umpteenth Starmania production is having the intended effect -- unsurprisingly. Of course, it did not reach Paris-levels of hysteria -- we need much more than they do to go mad with admiration -- but it is clear that new audience members, those who were discovering Lewis Furey's mise-en-scène yesterday (while all the media had already been invited to see it in Paris) were wide-eyed at all the staging innovations designed by Furey (the interaction between video and actors was particularly deftly done) and were falling, like the French have, for this new batch of characters. Not all, however: Frank Sherbourne, the only non-Québecois in the cast, gave a slightly stilted Ziggy, and next to me there were whispers that Judith Bérard lacked character and precision. On the other hand, Patsy Gallant's Stella Spotlight was in my opinion much better than at Mogador. She was heartbreaking and wholly believable, evoking Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard.
This is the genius of this Starmania's casting choices: the actors are the same age and have almost the same background as their characters. Gallant is true to life as an ageing star -- she is, to some extent, playing herself. Michel Pascal as Zéro Janvier has no trouble convincing us he wanted to be an artist -- Starmania is the first time he's had the chance. And Luce Dufault, the club-hopper, Dan Bigras's background singer, could very well be found waitressing in a Montreal Underground Café. She was perfectly credible and natural, with that rebellious streak which allowed her to stare the audience in the face shamelessly, and served us the Complainte de la serveuse automate with utter sincerity.
That said, beyond the characters and the mise-en-scène (which is not always good -- the pyrotechnics and the robot newsreader are a bit much) it is the songs which, once again, give this Starmania its real grandeur. At the most, a typical musical is build around 2 or 3 great themes: Starmania has 6 or 7, which are decidedly timeless. Le monde est stone, Les uns contre les autres, re-incarnated by Luce Dufault, were new songs. In the end, that's all we ask.

Right, who the FUCK is sleeping on the Paris theatre Mogador 1991 recording AGAIN
Do I have to make a whole other post talking about how incredible the French 1991 version AGAIN?? because I will
But in summary, I know obviously perfection is not the intention of art forms, but I really feel that this version nails it consistently across the board. First of all the mix is really REALLY good, so you don't have any wishy audios or loss of counter melodies like I find other versions tend to have. Also the actual score (music) in this version feels the most refined, with the most effective, driving use of elements like percussion, strings, dynamics etc. it just feels like they've really looked at the other versions and developed them. Like fucking hell just listen to the string part (particularly mirroring the bishop's theme) in the background of le suicide de javert and you'll hear their insane use of theme and variation. Mate it's sick.
On top of that all the vocal performances are absolutely stellar (just listen to fantine in j'avais rêvé her vowel placement is unmatched!!). And I really feel the acting performances come through even over audio. Especially jvj in 'Comment faire?', javert in 'le suicide de javert', and marius in 'seul devant ces tables vides'. I'm literally eating it.
(plus Enjolras' voice in à la volonté du peuple is really sexy)
Right there's my propaganda, big up 1991 théâtre Mogador recording
*to clarify, the concert and movie recordings are ONLY based on the recordings. No visuals.

Why didn't this happen?! I was in Paris when the change over for the signs outside went from Phantom to Grease... I know the story about the fire, but why couldn't it have gone ahead after? Clearly the theatre was fine as they opened another show there after! Would have been amazing. Saw Sierra perform in French at the 30th anniversary performance in London and it was brilliant. Such a shame.

Does anyone have any news about Le Fantôme de l'Opéra at the Théâtre Mogador (the Paris production?) I hope it’s still happening...
The cast seems really solid (esp. Bastien Jacquemart, in my opinion, but I am rather biased xD) and I hope it’s still going to happen!
