Will "Magic Room Full" be adapted into a musical?
Lin-Manuel Miranda? Dan Wooller
The nomination list of the 94th Academy Awards was announced, and the musicals-related films gained a lot: Steven Allan Spielberg’s "west side story" won seven nominations in one fell swoop; Lin Manuel Miranda’s Countdown Time was nominated for the best film editing award, and Andrew Garfield was nominated for the best actor for the film. Lin Manuel Miranda’s Magic Room was nominated for best animated feature film, best score and best original song. Cyrano de bergerac was nominated for Best Fashion Design Award.
After the Oscar nomination was announced, Lin Manuel Miranda spoke openly about the possibility of adapting "A Room Full of Magic" into a musical:
"I think it’s strange that (Disney animation) they don’t always (can be put on the stage), just like I can’t imagine" Frozen in the Sea "being adapted into a Broadway musical, and I don’t know how to make the ocean."
However, Lin Manuel Miranda did not completely deny this possibility. "My first draft version of the last song" All of You "in the movie was about seven minutes. It was at a very late stage of production that they told me that there was not enough time and I had to cut it. So I also have a Broadway ending. "

Whether this work can be moved to Broadway depends on the Disney Theatre. At present, works such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Frozen and The Lion King have proved that the stage adaptation is profitable, and the song "We Don’t Talk About Bruno" in "A Room Full of Magic" has performed strongly in the music list, and it may not be impossible to adapt the whole work in the future ~

"Restricted" French musical
La crème de Normandie stills
Two musicals by Hervé Decolder, a famous French composer, have successively won the Moliere Prize (the highest honor of the French Drama Festival).
This year, he is brilliant and wants to make a musical of the story that happened in the romantic place, and present the French scenery in 1900 to people.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the business of a candle factory director declined due to the widespread use of electricity. Forced to make a living, he invested in a brothel and disguised it as an orphanage to steal the donation from a rich patron. From misunderstanding to understanding, all kinds of hilarious stories have happened. ……
Hervé said: "The brothel in 1900 was an extremely beautiful and elegant place, and it was also the place that truly showed the life of the people at the bottom. The environment itself was the stage for performances."
This musical, La crème de Normandie (Cream of Normandy), consists of 11 actors, a pianist and a bass player. Interesting lyrics echo naughty songs, making the audience feel free.
Clerk’s comment time
Hervé’ s previous two musicals have put a lot of effort into the story, but this new musical is novel in terms of theme, and the little people in the big era sound very interesting.

A musical adaptation of "Fame"

The musical adaptation of the American drama Smash will premiere in 2024 and a workshop will be held this summer.
The story fictionalizes that Broadway will produce a musical about Marilyn Monroe, and people from all walks of life will come in droves, regarding playing Marilyn Monroe as a breakthrough in their lives. Katharine McPhee, the main character in the play, is also the original card of Waitress in the West Side.
The main producers of musicals include Steven Allan Spielberg, robert green Blatter and Neil Mellon.
"They submitted a draft that made me very excited, and we are organizing the first workshop." Producer robert green Blatter expressed the hope that fans of Smash would not pay too much attention to the workshop version of Cass, because it is likely that they are just friends who are willing to help, not those Cass who officially staged at the premiere of the musical.
Clerk’s comment time
Although the stage version is bound to choose the plot, fans of the American TV series "Fame" have begun to get excited. In 2015, "Fame" produced a charity concert, and all the tickets were sold out in a few minutes. The drama has been popular for many years.
Musicals not only need to pay attention to two actors competing to play Marilyn Monroe, but also look at Marilyn Monroe himself from a new perspective. The public’s impression of her always stays in "sexy stunner", but she actually has very deep thoughts.

The first female curator of Louvre made her first public speech.
le-louvre-de-nuit-istock-roman-slavik
On February 9th, Laurence des Cars, the new curator of the Louvre, met the media for the first time and made a public speech after taking office for six months.
I hope everyone can rediscover the Louvre, and I want it to shine again. Lawrence believes that the Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world, with a collection of 37,000 pieces, but it is an "encyclopedic and incoherent museum".
The new curator hopes that the Louvre must find a unique model to show its history, connect the collections in the museum, explore new forms and improve the temporary exhibition space.
Clerk’s comment time
It seems that the new curator wants to make a big reform. I don’t know what you think of this transformation, but it would be a good thing if some unpopular collections that have not been visited for a long time can appear more in people’s field of vision!

Combination of science and drama:
Immersive drama of "sound approaching the scene"
SEBASTIEN DURAND
David Wahl and Thomas Cloarec took the audience into the abyss with their drama Donvor.
Wearing headphones, the audience started in the dark and devoted themselves to the performance. Everyone listened to a story about sailing travel. Near the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, due to the desire of human beings to develop mineral resources, it became a wilderness.
What makes this drama special is not only the use of headphones and the concept of immersion. In the early stage of production, the playwright was first invited by scientists from Ifremer to board a submarine and really observed the harm to the ecosystem before making up his mind to make this play.
It is not uncommon to combine science with drama. But this drama was first promoted by scientists. Because they believe that the theater performance will touch the audience more than an academic conference.
Clever use of sound and equipment, the audience can only see the actors on the stage when they come out of the darkness, and the actors create sound effects on the spot … All these help to arouse the imagination of the audience and immerse people in it.
Clerk’s comment time
This is really one of the coolest dramas that clerks have ever seen, and it is also a project promoted by scientists, which can play an educational role while watching immersive dramas!

Setouchi Triennial Art Festival
The art festival of the 5th Setouchi Triennial will be opened in spring, summer and autumn from April 14th, 2022. There are different limited island venues in different exhibition periods, and the ticket selling time is until September 4th.
The theme of Setouchi International Art Festival is "Ocean Revival", which shows Setouchi’s beautiful landscape, natural time, culture and historical art and architecture, and the unique folk customs of various islands and islands, such as agriculture and fisheries, lion dance and other festivals, work areas and industrial heritage, potted plants, etc.
In March, Naoshima will open two new pavilions designed by Tadao Ando and Hiroshi Sugimoto respectively, as well as works by Yayoi Kusama.
Clerk’s comment time
In the past, ships coming and going stopped at the islands in the Seto Inland Sea for supplies, bringing them new culture and lifestyle. They have merged with the inherent cultures of the islands to form unique traditional customs. With the prevalence of globalization, high efficiency and unification, the population of Seto islands is decreasing, the aging is intensifying, the regional vitality is declining, and the traditional culture is losing. The art festival aims to revive it. It is hoped that by holding the Setouchi International Art Festival, the Seto Inland Sea Islands will regain their beautiful natural and human splendor, and the Seto Inland Sea will become a "sea of hope" in all regions of the world.
The art festival not only has the beautiful scenery and rich exhibits of the island, but also shows the slow life of the elderly islanders to the world.
