Film star of the end of the
Eighties, “Baghdad Café” offers a new carreer in the shape of a
musical created by the authors of film and presented Tuesday evening at
the Mogador theater in Paris where it is with the poster until November
5, before leaving in round to France until mid-December. Presented
in original version subtitled and carried by the music of Bob Telson,
author of the tube “Calling You”, which largely contributed in its time
to the world success of film of Percy Adlon, the spectacle with the
characteristic to be accompanied by a true orchestra - directed by Bob
Telson in person. The type-setter for the occasion wrote twelve new
songs. Light of this “Baghdad Coffee”, the presence of
the star of Broadway and the gospel Jevetta Steele it voice of “Calling
You”, rewarded by Grammy Award. It incarnates Brenda. In a
decoration whose sobriety plank sometimes symbolism, the characters
evolve/move around the relation attraction-repulsion rich in emotions
which two principal heroins live, punctuated by the engraved dialogues
of the booklet of Percy and Eleonore Aldon and accompanied by
choreographies, very urban but effective of Blanca Li. Undoubtedly
only flat in the table, the French adaptation of the subtitles which
often lets pass from the truculent Americanisms and makes the dead end
on the majority of the words of the songs what did not prevent the
spectacle from being applaused upright.
