Among the main attractions of the sixteenth edition of the Festival of Theater of Havana was the presence of the US Company Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment, chaired by Robert Nederlander.
This time the company gave us Broadway Rox, a show with the artistic direction by Rob Evan and music by Charles Czarnecki. The show proposed a compendium of some of the top hits from the most significant American musical theater over the last five decades. In the bright voices of Jason Wooten, Dustin Brayley, Justin Sargent, and the incomparable Ashley Loren, Chloe Lowery and Carrie Manolakos, Broadway Rox marked a tour of the musical theater in all its forms and shapes.
Many were the attractions. It was a show that reflected a commendable mastery of the stage by the musicians who made up the band, and especially by the charisma and exceptional technical and artistic rigor of the six young singers and actors.
From the work of singers and musicians we must highlight the filling sound in the total sound discourse, the link between each of the songs in an organic and coherent whole that flows without dissonance. We must praise a musical direction that takes care of the concept of dramaturgy, a concept of musical arrangement that respects the characteristics of each of the songs and manages to intertwine them in a coherent discourse.
To this it must be added the clean movements, the attention in the inputs and outputs of the singers, in the dialogue between them and the musicians or between the latter.
For now, Robert Nederlander said the cooperation with Cuba still awaits new future projects, something that the Cuban public and cultural movement of the whole island surely appreciates.
