Kamilla Kerimova reviews: 5 ratings: 5 rating: 4

A few months ago, I got acquainted with the work of the group Korol and Shut, which had never really interested me. Before, for me, they were always "strange punks with songs about role-playing cannibals", but then something (my husband, probably) kept my ear on their songs on my favorite Our radio, and made me fall in love with their last three albums: "Theater daemon" and a two-disk "TODD".
TODD ​​is good. The record is very good. We honestly downloaded it from the network, honestly listened to everything and many times, I memorized the texts and now I can answer tricky questions quotes or loudly and badly duplicate Gorshenev in the shower (how I bring out his low tones in the upper register - this show is not for the faint of heart, yes).
But now, having heard that the musical TODD was staged and you can go to it, my faithful and I bought tickets (for several months, damn it, they sorted it out like hot cakes from Lovett) and prepared to wait. We waited a long time - and today we went to the Film Actor Theater for a viewing. And here comes my question:
HOW COULD YOU HAVE THIS?!
Sorry, I didn’t want to be so emotional, but I didn’t have the endurance. I was really worried with my soul for this event, I loved these songs too much not to want to hear them live ... and that's why I was very disappointed.
But let's digress from emotions and analyze everything point by point.
Let's note the fact that everyone screwed up - and first of all the soloist (oh-vey, he really screwed up, I'm not picky). The great and terrible Pot, well, how, truly, how could one give a rooster (about a rooster, by the way, after)? Well, how could you forget the text so many times? Well, okay, she said "let's mark", then we'll mark.
But who should have torn their hands off is the sound engineer. Of course, I understand that the musicians sitting behind the glass partition also want to be heard, but, apparently, the news for the organizers of the performance will be that the main thing in the musical is not the music, but the song, that is, the WORDS. In the hall, the words were understood only by those who could sing along - that is, they already knew the entire text by heart. I was lucky - I knew. But those three songs that were added to the musical and were not on the discs - I did not make out at all. At best, some words were guessed, on average, nothing. Well, you can't downvote like that. Well, you can't let the soloist's microphone turn off AT ALL TO HELL in the middle of a song. Well, you can’t spend one and a half lyam on staging and not buy normal microphones. Well, you can't screw up the performance for everyone but the die-hard fans.
Or is it possible? Maybe I don't understand something?
Do you think I'll just limit myself to the sound? Oh no, let's go through the production.
I've never seen SO many screwed up scenes. Really, guys, and I even saw avant-garde productions winnie the pooh- and this, I'll tell you, extreme.
First, let's go through poor Gorshenev. I understand that the singer is not an actor. I understand that lines were drawn on the floor at a rehearsal and he learned to walk evenly on them. I understand everything - but why did you have to move along these lines like a log for the entire first part, and make scary faces for the entire second part, which were supposed to symbolize (I wonder what?) Horror and madness? You can’t blame Gorshenev - but where, your wave, was the director looking at ?! Why couldn't it have been directed properly? I do not understand.
In this regard, I would like to mention famous phrase about how punks are hoi. I mean, let me explain: the passionate punk style of performance does not replace the emotion invested in the performance. Here listen last aria musical, the most famous "On the Edge" - as it looks on the disc. Do you feel? Todd is ready to die in this scene. He had already given up life, the fight, everything. His story is over. This is no longer the avenger from the beginning of the musical, who is full of life and rage - this is a tired, exhausted, lost everything man who takes the last step towards death. Feel it?
But on the stage it was not visible. Well, in general.
The positively cheerful Gorshenev, who, apparently, took something amusing in the intermission and was still feeling joy, moved rapidly around the stage, emotionally and passionately yelling "uuuu-here I see the light", and it was absolutely clear - the hell with two he would die now . He still beats all the hypothetical ones. To whom - it is not clear, but aggression, strength, emotion - all this was quite obvious.
No, I understand, Gorsheneva is rushing, well, give him something there, or at least on the head, so that he depicts a little sadness and melancholy. Just do not overdo it, otherwise you will forget the words in the final aria again)

Let's continue to go through the screwed up scenes. Here is the one after which I sobbed and asked to be taken away from here. Well, not so emotionally, of course, but the one after which my impression of the performance changed.
Lovett's explanation scene. For those who are not in the subject, I suggest the plot: Lovett finds Todd with the corpse of her butcher uncle at the meat grinder, and when he intends to wet her for company, he confesses his passionate love to him and becomes his accomplice. That is, you understand - she loves him passionately and is ready to accept death at his hands. She and he.
You know what the coolest thing you could do with that scene? Cool in quotation marks, of course. Make a secret declaration of love - a monologue in public. Listen to her words: "An exciting moment, a sweet moment ... because we are alone next to you, only you and me and darkness." What a damn sweet moment when, in the first bars of this touching composition, Todd disappears from the stage altogether, and Lovett, surrounded by a crowd of ballerinas, confesses her love to the audience? As a result, instead of the most tender scene of the entire musical, we get a public statement made in secret to the whole world.
How beautiful this moment could have been! With Todd, who collides with Lovett at the meat grinder (otherwise where is the intrigue, she should catch him there), attacks her in dismay, and how she moves towards him - and the paired scenes, by the way, are good in the play, apparently this is the director’s strong point - and starts talking about his feelings. Then let the ballet come running, and it would be possible to sing in the hall - but it was necessary to show that this is love. She is between two, she is a dialogue, not a monologue!

By the way, there is a general misunderstanding with Lovett. According to the emotion conveyed by the recording, she is a girl in love with Todd, who has grown up, but has not outgrown her childhood love, who admires a strong, handsome, tragic man (and the main pleasure that every woman will experience when watching this performance is to admire the chic half-naked Gorshenev, because he is very VERY sexy!) and is ready for anything for him - to die like this to die, to kill like that to kill. According to the performance, this is a burnt girl who wants dough and beautiful life. Even compare how her story is told in the recording and in the play: Smekhov (the narrator on the disc) says "once a little girl, Lovett was in love with a beautiful young barber", Lovett in the play tells that she looked out the window at happy woman, whom Todd loves and dreamed of being this woman. In my opinion (there is no text at hand), she also describes well-being - in any case, it is on him that she rests in interludes: "We have money, we have everything, let's live well and cool." Somehow this is wrong. Maybe that's how it should be, but somehow it's wrong.

You have to understand that Gorshenev, by the way, is beautiful. It's real - none of my stupid claims can be directed at him. He is strong and bright, he is rushing life energy the strongest on the stage, except maybe the judge, he is powerful, like... like a bazooka! Here is such a peppy, powerful, mighty bazooka on the stage, which is just about to shoot, and the main problem that the producer or director simply does not represent - where to attach this damn bazooka ?! As a result, she continues to hang on stage. And the cheerful pathos of "On the Edge" is connected precisely with this - Gorshenev is too full of energy to sing it devastated, as it should be.

But the most main question, which occurred to me when watching the performance - this, excuse me, why make a message that is better not to do at all. This is me about the final song of the girl-death, which is formulated approximately like this:
Lalala-lalala, death is not cool, let's all live and enjoy life.
But if you don’t enjoy living, then let’s die as soon as possible.

Hey people, what do you think? Have you seen your CA? Have you seen this teenage-goth-punk tribe? You understand that any of them can remember this for the rest of their damn life, and when at thirty he, realizing that he has not achieved anything and cannot change anything, will remember the performance he saw at eighteen and take an extra step standing on the edge of the window - you, you will be to blame.
Well, if we ignore the moral side of the issue - you first determine the message for yourself, and then try to formulate it in rhymes. Because "it's good to live, but you can die" - this is some kind of nonsense, and not just one idea.

"TODD" is not a sugary musical - entertainment "one time with popcorn". This is a completely different reading of the old London legend. In the domestic version, the eternal Hamlet questions are raised and Shakespeare's passions flare up in earnest. Where you need to think and empathize.
