There are all the elements of a successful musical. “WE WILL ROCK YOU”, at its second edition until February the 2nd at the Brancaccio Theatre, stages the passionate history of Galileo and Scaramouche, set in an alienated future, directed by Michaela Berlini. The explosive thrust of the performance is the great love for music and freedom, looking for a disappeared rock, a kind of post-modern Holy Grail. Every age audience share with the protagonists, among emotions and laughs, the tale of hope about the salvific power of Rock and Roll, of sharing and the self expression right. “We will rock you” is a definitely maintained promise.
SINGERS AND ACTORS: TALENT AND PASSION
The singers-actors on the stage are compelling for their talent and charisma in an addictive choral performance. Confirmed the last year casting, who registred a great success, 65.000 people for the 56 performances all over Italy, except for two new protagonists: Scaramouche is Martha Rossi and Galileo with the face and the voice of Luca Marconi. While the Gaga and the Bohemians fascinated for opposite reasons.
