Introducing the best Chinese version of the musical
Broadway classic musical
into the woods
2018 Magic Forest debuts stunningly, taking you into the fairy tale world of adults!
Into the woods is one of the classics of Broadway musicals, staged on Broadway and London's West End for 30 years. He has received ten nominations for the Tony Awards, Best Musical Script, Best Score, Best Actress, and Tony Award for Best Rearrangement Music.
The play was based on Grimm's fairy tales by Stephen Sandheim, the "father of concept musicals" in the United States, and screenwriter James La pine.
The story tells the story of a baker couple who are eager to have children and walk into the forest to lift the witch's curse. It brings together the four popular stories of "Jack and the Magic Bean", "Cinderella", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Rapunzel".
In the 1987 Tony Awards (known as the "Oscar of theater"), "Visiting the Forest" was definitely broadway's biggest surprise for the entire musical theater industry.
It is only the simple theme of the "I Hope" paragraph in the opening song, and gradually develops into a complex tune in the development of the plot. It shows the characteristics of its complex rhythm, changing melody, and a large number of theme variations.
For this reason, "Visiting the Forest" beat "Phantom of the Opera" to win the Best Score Award, which is known as the "Musical" Bible.
"Visiting the Forest" tells a story of walking into the forest, getting lost and growing up, the protagonist in the fairy tale walks into the forest full of temptations with his own wishes, but in the process of realizing his wishes, he has experienced a lot of pain, confusion and growth. The story tells us that in order to achieve our wishes, we must learn to choose, learn to love, and learn to give.
This, too, is the price of growth.
In order to achieve the visual effect of "novelty", this drama adopts a new visual spectacle that combines film visual means with traditional stage art for the first time. Break through the limitations of traditional sound, light and electric stage performances, and present a more magical sense of space, perspective and three-dimensionality.
As a Broadway classic, he is also one of the winners of the Tony Award. The quality of this musical is self-evident, and on a certain flap, the five-star evaluation can be said to be handy.
When people truly enjoy this "novelty" audio-visual feast, they can more carefully appreciate the endless perception of the deep mountain jungle. Such a beautiful and magical visual feast is also a cultural family feast suitable for families to enjoy together.
The so-called forest is the forest of human history and the forest of human civilization. We get lost in the forest and explore in the forest. In the forest of long history and civilization, what kind of enlightenment we have received, and in what way we should understand our lives. These issues deserve to be discussed, reflected and reminisced by the whole family.
