[arr] The Lord of the Rings Today Video Segment
In case you missed THE LORD OF THE RINGS segment, you can access it below: Click on the link below: http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=2db83090-cb2e-48f5-9282- 0d7402d85204f=kw_goog With a cast of 55, a running time of 3-1/2 hours, an estimated cost of $27 million and a boast that this is a new genre of theater, The Lord of the Rings finally has opened. One has to admire the single-mindedness of producer Kevin Wallace and his creative team to adapt the J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy into one evening in the theater. Whether it works is another matter. Rob Howell's set and costume design is nothing short of spectacular. The set revolves with sections rising and falling suggesting mountains, valleys, rumbling rivers and deep earth. Paul Pyant's brilliant lighting is equally as effective in creating this dark world. Then why is Rings so boring? Because with our senses being bombarded by dazzling images and blaring sound effects, there is nothing left for the audience's imagination. Added to that is the complicated story. Those unfamiliar with the books and films will be mystified by Shawn McKenna and Matthew Warchus' crammed book. While there is an extensive synopsis in the program, there is so much information whizzing by in the production that we have either information overload or not enough information for clarity. Most problematic is that, for the most part, we don't care. With most of the cast declaring their lines as if on a mountain addressing the multitudes, there is an unengaging sameness to many performances. The usually compelling Brent Carver plays the wizard Gandalf with such deliberate uncertainty in many scenes that you wonder why anyone would revere him. But he then rises to the occasion by being commanding when faced with evil. The exception is the touching story of the friendship of Frodo and Sam. We can identify with their loyalty -- certainly when acted with such genuine compassion by Loye and Howe. Special mention must be made of Therriault as Gollum. He is an embodiment of evil and twitchy impishness. Therriault is nothing short of mesmerizing. Warchus directs with a keen sense of the big picture. Scenes moves with efficiency, but the details slip by. Frodo putting on the ring and becoming invisible, for example, is muddy. Wallace says this is not a musical, in spite of lovely music and songs by A.R. Rahman, Finnish folk-rock band Varttina and Christopher Nightingale and athletic choreography by Peter Darling. Nor is it a play with music. Rather, Wallace says, it's a theatrical spectacle. Spectacular, yes, but boring. Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

[arr] Big numbers, little appeal..............Listeners captivated by it will . . . .
Big numbers, little appeal Dazzling dancing in Bombay Dreams isn't enough to sell it. By Daryl H. Miller, Times Staff Writer LONG gone are the days when American movies contained Busby Berkeley's human kaleidoscopes or Fred and Ginger's swirling forms, but big song-and-dance numbers live on in India, where they are a vital part of many popular films. That pulse-pumping tradition is meant to propel Bombay Dreams, a stage musical jammed with numbers by the respected Indian film composer A.R. Rahman. The versions of the show attempted in London, New York and now on tour, however, haven't been able to establish what seems an otherwise inevitable connection between Indian films and Western stage musicals. If and when the right project comes along, the infusion of energy from the East could be electrifying. In the meantime, we must make do with the production that is launching its North American tour at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. A pet project of Andrew Lloyd Webber's, Bombay Dreams emerged from the British impresario's fascination with Rahman's music. Tonally and rhythmically complex, that music fuses Indian classical music and Western pop, with salsa, jazz and other styles percolating among the techno drum beats and traditional Indian percussion. The most infectious numbers are lifted from film scores: the Top 40- ready Shakalaka Baby and the swaying, propulsive Chaiyya Chaiyya. But Rahman wrote mostly original material for the stage musical, on which Lloyd Webber retains a co-credit for coming up with the idea. The plot, apparently meant to playfully emulate many of the movies that emerge from Hollywood's Bombay counterpart, is a rehash of long- established plot devices, intended as mere pretext for spectacle. So the script by Meera Syal and Thomas Meehan presents the story of Akaash (Sachin Bhatt), a young man from Bombay's slums who dreams of fame in the movies. He is loved, of course, by a neighborhood girl, the twist here being that the girl is a eunuch named Sweetie (Aneesh Sheth). Akaash falls in love, though, with a glamorous woman from the outside world, here the aspiring filmmaker Priya (Reshma Shetty). Of course, he gets his big chance. The show, which ran for two years in London, was reworked for its Broadway presentation, which lasted just eight months. It has been further redone here, with some songs and scenes having been moved to new places. As theatergoers take their seats, movie excerpts of Rahman's songs, including Shakalaka Baby, play on a big screen, showing us how the numbers should be done. And when the show begins, this new staging by director Baayork Lee and choreographer Lisa Stevens works best when the music is thumping. The big numbers dazzle with their unison moves, performed en masse side-to-side head pops, windmilling arms and bent-kneed leg pumps. When the movement stops, however, the show dies. The cast, though young and attractive, has neither the charisma nor the chops to sell this thin material on dazzle alone. Complicating matters, the production, in its first tour stop, is still in shakedown mode, with numerous awkwardnesses and glitches occurring during Tuesday's opening. Then too, there are sequences that probably ought to be rethought. Shakalaka Baby incorporates what is often referred to as a wet sari scene, in which dancers are drenched with water. The geyser-producing contraption used here all but drowns the cast and necessitates long minutes of cleanup by a small army of mop-pushers, distracting from the dialogue scene that follows. The London cast album of Bombay Dreams sounded fantastic. Listeners captivated by it will sure wonder what went wrong. Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
