Q大道(Avenue Q)这出音乐剧于2003年7月首演于百老汇John Golden剧院,由罗伯特.洛佩兹(Robert Lopez)与杰夫.马克斯(Jeff Marx)作词作曲,以及杰夫.威蒂(Jeff Whitty)编剧。
Q大道上演之后立即赢得了观众的认可和评论界的赞誉,一时间一票难求,档期更是先后数度延长。
在2004年的托尼奖颁奖典礼上,Q大道风光夺下最佳音乐剧、最佳音乐剧编剧和最佳音乐剧词曲三项大奖,直到今天,仍然在纽约百老汇以及伦敦西区长期演出,并被改编成十多种语言的版本,在全世界的舞台上演。
故事发生在纽约一条并不存在的“Q大道”上,刚从大学毕业的Princeton,拿着英语学士学位,跟所有心比天高命比纸薄的大学毕业生一样,人穷气短。他为了图便宜,搬进了Q大道的一间公寓,结识了住在这里的一群奇奇怪怪的租客,开始了社会人的角色……尽管逗趣,但是《Q大道》犀利且深刻地揭示并讽刺了一些社会问题:大学生就业、年轻人的奋斗与迷茫、种族隔离、同性恋身份……等等,是一出笑过之后又能引发观众同理心和更深的思考的作品。

亞拉索音樂之旅/西貢小姐介紹:
《西贡小姐》是音乐剧四大名剧之一,同《悲惨世界》一样,是阿兰.鲍伯利和勋伯
格的作品。如同《蝴蝶夫人》,女主角金将自己的生命毫不犹豫的给予孩子,令人震撼、感人肺腑至深。
该剧在全世界获得巨大成功。在伦敦和百老汇的首演,都创下提前售票额记录。发行的CD销售量超过百万张。
在这部充满动荡、激情和危险的作品里,音乐是西方的,诗句是东方的,大量亚洲演员和西方演员同台演出,东西方风格的完美结合,使该剧十分迷人。同时还具有真实的舞台效果,在描写西贡最后的撤退时,甚至让一架直升机从观众头上缓缓降落到舞台上空,巨大的噪音,,将剧情中的混乱、绝望直接传达给观众,揪人心肺。
该剧同《艾薇塔》一样,使用了一个贯穿全剧的人物“工程师”,刚开始一曲“西贡在升温”(the heat is on in the Saigon)十分好听,清纯的金的出现后的唱段“我心中的电影”,表现了金对生活美好的梦想,而稍后出现的美国大兵克莱斯与其说是一个帅小伙,不如说是一个孩子,稍后的许多唱段,如克莱斯的“上帝,为什么?”(Why god why),金与克莱斯的“这钱是你的”(this money's yours),和“龙的早晨”(The morning of the dragon),及金和艾伦的"I still believe",约翰的“Bui Doi”,工程师的“美国梦”(American Dream),都十分精彩,百听不厌。而当最后金开枪自杀时,令人心中十分震撼。这是一部非常难得的好音乐剧。

Love Never Dies is a sequel to the Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical The Phantom of the Opera, rather than the original book by Gaston Leroux, though Lloyd Webber has stated “I don’t regard this as a sequel – it’s a stand-alone piece”. It is directed by Jack O’Brien and opened at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End on 22 February 2010, and is scheduled to open on Broadway on 11 November 2010, and in Australia in 2011. The musical is set a decade after the end of Phantom. Christine Daaé is invited to perform at Phantasma, a new attraction in Coney Island, by an anonymous impresario and, with her husband Raoul and son Gustave in tow, journeys to Brooklyn, unaware it is the Phantom who has arranged her appearance in the popular beach resort.
Cast stars Ramin Karimloo (The Phantom) Sierra Boggess (Christine Daaé) Joseph Millson (Raoul) Liz Robertson (Madame Giry) Summer Strallen (Meg Giry) Niamh Perry (Fleck) Adam Pierce (Squelch) and Jami Reid-Quarrell (Gangle).
《真爱不死》是安德鲁•劳埃德•韦伯谱曲的音乐剧《剧院魅影》的续集,改编自法国作家Gaston Leroux的同名小说《剧院魅影》(Le Fantôme de l'Opéra)。韦伯称:”我并不将其视为严格意义上的续集,更倾向于把它看作一个独立的故事。“这部由Jack O'Brien导演的音乐剧于2010年2月22日在伦敦西区的阿德尔菲剧院(Adelphi Theatre)预演,于3月9日首演,全球同步发行了这上、下两张原声专辑。该剧已计划将于2011年5月在澳大利亚墨尔本摄政王剧院(Melbourne’s Regent Theatre)制作并上演澳大利亚首演版(Original Australian Cast),原本在百老汇的演出计划一度从2010年春推迟至2011年春。
这两张CD的中国出售的版本中,收录了全剧的中文译本,以及歌曲Love Never Dies的韩文版和中文版。

作曲家安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯介绍:
1948年3月22日生于伦敦近郊的南肯辛顿(South Kensington),出身音乐世家。65年进入牛津就读,不久后辍学,’67年到皇家音乐学院学管弦乐编曲。1968年,Andrew Lloyd Webber以首出音乐剧《约瑟芬与奇异的梦幻彩衣》初尝成名滋味,之后,另一出以耶稣为题材的摇滚音乐剧《万世巨星》,成功征服伦敦西区及纽约百老汇,使Andrew Lloyd Webber一跃成为音乐剧界的新星并开始名利双收。《万世巨星》成功之后,Andrew Lloyd Webber乘胜追击,大胆地将备受争议的阿根廷前第一夫人艾薇塔的一生搬上舞台。1978年《艾薇塔》一推出即造成轰动,也因此捧红了女主角伊莲佩姬 (Elaine Paige)。1981年,《猫Cats》上演,这出Andrew Lloyd Webber的代表作可说是最受欢迎的经典巨作,80年代首演至今,创下英国音乐剧史上上演最久的记录,也是百老汇长青音乐剧之首,甚至在结束百老汇的演出后,仍在世界各地巡演,魅力历久不衰。《猫》剧之后,Andrew Lloyd Webber陆续推出《歌与舞》、《星光列车》与《安魂曲》等剧。1986年,《剧院魅影》(The Phantom of the Opera)在伦敦首演,将其事业推向顶峰。自70年代以来,Andrew Lloyd Webber在音乐上所绽放的耀眼光芒,为他赢得七座托尼奖、四座全美资深剧评人奖、三座葛莱美奖、五座奥立佛奖(Laurence Oliver),加上’96年因电影《阿根廷别为我哭泣》摘下的金球奖及奥斯卡最佳原着音乐大奖。他成功打破语言与国界的藩离,创造出10余部脍炙人口又历久弥新的音乐剧。而出自他手笔的经典名曲,除了优美动听、那无与伦比的流畅旋律更让人琅琅上口,为每一出音乐剧注入丰富的生命。 1998年英国皇家艾伯特音乐厅举办的Andrew Lloyd Webber五十岁生日巨星庆祝音乐会,不但邀来知名指挥家Michael Reed与管弦乐团演出,更有跨界天后莎拉布莱曼、抒情名曲”Memory”主唱伊莲佩姬、当红偶像团体男孩特区及安东尼奥班得拉斯等巨星为他献唱。纵横舞台三十年的Andrew Lloyd Webber已然不仅只是成功的音乐剧作曲家,他的音乐早已跨越音乐剧、古典及流行三大领域,感动全世界各地数以佰万计的乐迷。
扮演主角幽灵的主演Ramin Karimloo介绍:
Ramin Karimloo是伊朗裔加拿大音乐剧男演员,1978年9月19日出生于伊朗,在加拿大多伦多长大。演艺生涯开始时,曾在当地摇滚乐队中担任歌手。
第一个舞台剧角色是Chatham中的Aladdin2001年来到英国加入了《班战斯的海盗》(The Pirates of Penzance)英国巡演版的阵容,扮演Pirate King。2002年在音乐剧《日落大道》(Sunset Boulevard)中扮演Artie Green和Joe Gillis扮演者的候补。又在皇后剧院加盟《悲惨世界》(Les Misérables)伦敦驻演剧组扮演学生革命领袖Enjolras。04年在电影版的《歌剧魅影》中露脸扮演Christine的小提琴手父亲。05年加入《西贡小姐》(Miss Saigon)英国巡演版扮演男主角Chris。
Ramin Karimloo目前为止最负盛名的角色,是他在加入《剧院魅影》后所扮演的主角幽灵(The Phantom),在2005年在女王陛下剧院(Her Majesty's Theatre)从前任John Owen-Jones手中接过主角的接力棒后,他高亢独特的嗓音和富有激情又不乏细腻的表演赢得了观众的认可,为这个音乐剧的经典角色作了新的诠释。Phantom为给他带来了英国“剧场最佳票选奖”最佳男主角的提名。更为重要的是他的表演引起了正在酝酿续集的安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯的注意。09韦伯宣布了将创作《剧院魅影》的续集并公布了男女主角,男主角即由Ramin Karimloo饰演。
作为《魅影:真爱不死》(Phantom: Love Never Dies)中主角的首任扮演者,Ramin得事业无疑已经取得了不小的成就,凭借该剧他赢得了“百老汇世界网站奖”的最佳男演员奖。
2010末,他又应邀加盟了《悲惨世界》25周年纪念演唱会的阵容,扮演他曾演过的Enjolras,在伦敦O2体育场和另外两个《悲惨世界》制作版本的演员和主创们共同奉献了一场惊天动地的音乐盛典。
2011年由于在Love Never Dies在百老汇的演出可能被继续推迟,原本安排他来作为百老汇首演版的男主角,他的美国秀也将随之推迟。目前他得以继续在伦敦饰演The Phantom。

Ragtime (1998 Original Broadway Cast)
Douban
release date 1998-04-28
publisher:
RCA Victor Broadway
The epic sweep of Ragtime is captured in its opening prologue, a nine-minute kaleidoscope of fictional characters mingling with historical figures from the early 20th century as originally captured in E.L. Doctorow's sprawling novel. As the story continues, we meet pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Brian Stokes Mitchell) and his child's mother, Sarah (Audra McDonald), who has been taken in by a respectable family (including Marin Mazzie as Mother). Parallel story lines of the Latvian immigrant Tateh (Peter Friedman), the entertainer Evelyn Nesbit (Lynnette Perry), and even Harry Houdini (Jim Corti) and Emma Goldman (Judy Kaye) eventually mingle and merge. Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Once on This Island) mix marches, cakewalks, and of course ragtime to create a rich, compelling score, including Sarah's song to her baby, "Your Daddy's Son," her soaring duet with Coalhouse, "Wheels of a Dream," Mother's self-revealing "Back to Before," and numerous set pieces, all performed by a perfect cast. Ragtime was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 1998, with wins for McDonald, original score, book, and orchestration. The CD also includes an eight-minute symphonic suite conducted by Paul Gemignani and a booklet with photos, full lyrics, and a history of how the score was written. Tragic, touching, and ultimately triumphant, Ragtime is an American classic. --David Horiuchi
