Starmania
Mogador, Paris, 1994
I Love Star Mania. This has nothing to do with the talent search program österreichichen, but rather is a French musical, is known as the "rock opera" that is much older than the said missing, so is clearly also be who he is where his title stolen.
goes in the Star Mania is a town called Monopolis, in just a wealthy industrialist here is to be president to do one cleared to the ground higher daughter fights against him, only to then it hit again on his side, as their street gang-leader friend she can sit for another, and especially to Marie-Jeanne, the waitress from the Underground Café, who dreams of a better life, and the fact that her best friend (who unfortunately is gay) but may fall in love with her. It's about power, violence, oppression, control, the influence of the media, helpless rage and radical measures. And it's about love, and self-object, which knows no bounds, and by loneliness and despair. Starmania is loud and rocking or soft and yearning, violent and depressed. But it is never unmusical, because it is a French piece. French Rock can be tough and direct, but he does not lose himself in wild distorted guitar riffs.
Star Mania is one of the pieces that are wonderful, even if you are depressed times, and "Les Miserables" then simply is lyrical and hopeful. For Starmania has no happy ending. None at all.
shines The Mogador recording with great voices, especially Bruno Pelletier as Johnny Rockfort, who masters all the pitches and depths of the role just as smoothly as he effortlessly from rock to lyisch changes and the attack to show to Verweiflung the full range of feelings. The same applies to Frank Sherbourne as Ziggy, the brighter, clearer voice of his role a certain boyish lightness gives. Jasmin Roy with Sadia is powerful, aggressive and confident, a voice that can really make pressure, and is unrivaled Luce Dufault as Marie-Jeanne. Your "Le Monde est Stone" is pure desperation. Great.
I've then bought the CD on the advice of Andereas Luketa, then still at Radio Remote, now owner of Sound of Music , the specialty store for musical and other theater and music. Radio Remote also had three different shots of Star Mania, and he advised me to it. I have to mention the extra as the views of Mr Luketa and me, what tackle CDs, or are almost always completely incompatible - there was a time when there was a slating from him almost a reason to buy the CD - but with this recommendation, he has absolutely been right. Credit where credit is due. ;)
