Singing and dancing, shaking baggage, changing tricks, and solving the murder case - from tonight, the Broadway hilarious musical "Murder of Two People", which was produced by the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center and produced by the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center, appeared on Anfu Road, and the performance will be staged until January 3, 2021, performing a hilarious and bizarre case-breaking rhapsody for the audience in the New Year file.
As a musical with a special form, the most exciting highlight of "Murder of Two People" is that the two actors play more than ten roles with a variety of voices and small props, and at the same time, they also have to act, sing, dance, and play the piano all "online".
This round of performances is co-starring Zhai Song and Qian Hairui. Zhai Song has starred in musicals such as "The Sound of Music", "Sailor's Mystery", "Almost Normal", "Tai Love You", etc.; he has also left a deep impression on the audience in works such as "Simple Task", "Plague", and "Death of a Young Man". In Murder of Two Men, he played "All the Suspects", playing more than a dozen characters in one person and playing the piano throughout. Only the use of physical movements, expressions and small props, seamlessly switch between each character, to achieve the perfect "fine points".
Qian Hairui, who has played an important role in the musical "Blossomed Youth", "Spring Awakening", "Sound of the Sea", "Beauty in the Wind", "Loulan", "The City That Year", the musical theater "You Are My Loneliness", "The Mystery of the Sailor" and many other works that have been performed in Shanghai and have been well received, played the role of "Officer Marcus". Professional singing voice and line skills, so that many audiences "only hear his voice" will know that it is him.
Co-written by Coron Blair and Joe Kenozian, Murder of Two made its premiere at the Second Broadway Theater outside the United States; in May 2011, the show was premiered worldwide at Chicago's Shakespeare Theatre, with four consecutive performances over six months. He was inspired by the 1945 edition of Ten Indian Villains by Agatha Christie, queen of reasoning. The novel has been adapted into a film several times, most notably the 1945 edition of French director René Claire, which was first adapted to the screen. In the opinion of screenwriter Kenozion: "Claire's film is not a detective story, but a suspenseful murder. Characters die one after another, but they are inspiring in terms of cinematic style and imagination. “
Although the film is terrifying and people keep dying, it never loses its sense of humor. Of course, the most classic murder in the Chamber of Secrets is that everyone looks like they are in the Chamber of Secrets, but everyone knows that someone must be killing people. "In order to enhance the detective color of the show, the writers also referred to the "The Thin Man" series of movies." I've been following this movie because it's the first to combine suspense and comedy! "The quirky, funny and unique musical segments in the play are cleverly woven together with the plot of the whole story, turning seemingly dark stories into wonderful comedies.
It is worth noting that the soundtrack in "Murder of Two People" is very brilliant. The songs in the Chinese version, in addition to retaining the original taste, also made a careful and grounded translation of the lyrics of the Chinese, each capital has its own characteristics.
