"Premiere": From Broadway to Hollywood
Orchestra: Arts Symphony Ensemble.
Musical director: Alfonso Casado.
Stage director: Víctor Conde
Choreographer: Amaya Galeote
Premiere: From Broadway to Hollywood proposes, in the first place, a journey through all those melodies that live in our memory, but also those themes that have recently exploded in the new revolution of cinema and musical theatre. Classical film themes, musical theater standards, and melodies have somehow become popular through movies.
Alongside the Arts symphony ensemble orchestra and musical director Alfonso Casado, four of the best voices of English musical theater, dancers, choir singers, and a spectacular montage of light, sound, and projection to wrap those melodies of luxury and glamour, but at the same time, to do it in a surprising and unique way using the latest trends in technology and design.
So songs from Cats, Phantom of the Opera or My fair lady alongside Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean, La La land, the greatest showman, and James Bond.
The classic Hollywood, the theatres of Broadway, the nights of premieres and glamour, the world that we imagine when sitting in a cinema, in a magical and unique night.
