The month passed by so quickly that it was halloween night at the ARENIN party in Central London. The place was full and there were two dance floors, one for Argentinian music and the other one for Carribbean music, that included reaggeton, salsa and merengue. The place was also packed with latinamerican people and some japanese ones that I didn't know where they came from, but they did enjoyed it as the music, the lights, the prizes and the food was amazing. It was a spooky night and everybody liked my mask. In Stephen Sondheim's musical Passion, Captain Giorgio Bachetti, a military hero, is transferred to a strange and remote Italian outpost. Far away from his beloved Clara, he encounters Fosca, the cousin of his commanding officer, and her influence has shattering and inconceivable consequences. A multi-award-winning musical, Passion examines the power of love in a haunting story of desire, sacrifice and redemption. Argentinian actress Elena Roger, who previously led the cast of Piaf at the Donmar Warehouse, returns to the intimate venue to play Fosca in Passion. In addition to her work at the Donmar, Roger has also starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita and hit comedy Boeing Boeing in the West End. Passion sees her reunited with her Piaf director, Jamie Lloyd. Passion plays at the Donmar Warehouse as part of Sondheim at 80, a celebration of the composer's 80th birthday that also includes talks and concert performances of Company and Merrily We Roll Along. Sweet Charity, the Tony Award-winning musical, follows the misadventures of love encountered by the gullible and guileless Charity Hope Valentine, a woman who always gives her heart and her dreams to the wrong man. Cy Coleman's score features favourite hits such as Hey, Big Spender; If My Friends Could See Me Now and The Rhythm of Life. It was an entertaining show, and old classic as you can say, maybe it was great at those times, but Musicals have evolved through times so maybe a little twist could have been arranged. I enjoyed the dancing and the performance of the main character was very good. I think the songs have helped this show to have last this long. This is your new blog post.
