"A play that cannot be rejected! Excellent script, great actor! Lanly-Hall's performance makes every minute of the work a pleasure. Six hours is too short and too short. Bold and brave, Delicate and profound, wonderful and magnificent, this is a play that no one should miss."

As a top player in the industry, Aristotle Smith's authority need not be said.

On the "stage" newspaper, Aristel first made a short comment in concise language and published it on the front page of the headline, giving a comment on this high-profile work; and then later in-depth drama On the comment page, a detailed drama review of nearly 3,000 words was published, expressing his love and admiration eloquently.

Any reader who is familiar with Alistair can deeply feel that the ecstasy and devotion of this critic is really long-lost, even the "Matilda" and "Out of Me" in the past few years. "Heaven and Earth", has not been able to make Aristel such a gaffe; let alone other drama critics in the industry with his peers?

Different from the movie’s scoring system, the critics in the West End of London use a five-star rating system. “Matilda” and “Out of My World” both received four and a half stars in the writings of Aristel. Recommended; this time the Almeida Theater version "Les Miserables" won a five-star recommendation.

This is the only five-star Aristel has been awarded since the new century.

Not in the newspaper, but when Aristel was chatting with fellow drama critics, he said, "If possible, I am willing to give five and a half stars. The reason for the extra half star is a blue gift. -Hall’s. The only regret is that the other actors in the work still need time to polish, Tom Holland, Charlotte Kennedy and Michelle Dockry’s performances are very good, but they are very good. Compared with Li, they still look inferior."

To keep improving, and even to find faults, this is the job of the critics. They need to challenge a play from every aspect. There is no such thing as perfection in this world. The stage play is even more so. Different performances of the same play may have different levels and conditions. Every performance is challenging perfection, and every performance is in Perfect beyond the previous time.

Just need this review of Aristel, the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables" has laid the foundation for success. In the theater circle, authoritative critics have such appeal; not to mention, This time, outside of Aristel, there are not a few critics expressing approval.

Nick Morris, who has written critics for The Times for many years and occasionally for The Stage, is another authoritative critic in the industry and is known for his sharp style.

"Six hours is really long, it seems to have gone through a century. Therefore, those impatient audiences, or those who want to bring female companions to pretend style, can stay away from the Almeida Theater. You will hate this. It doesn't even give you time to sleep for the purpose of the show.

If I list the shortcomings, I can list hundreds of shortcomings and advise every audience to stay away from the show.

I know that John Cod’s artistic pursuit is eager to present the era described by Victor Hugo, to reproduce that period of history, that society, and those tasks again; but, **** Christ, it is now the 21st century. , Who cares about such an old story? The audience can't bear even a two-hour art movie. Who wants to sit in a dark theater for six hours?

I also know the artistic processing of John Cod. He did capture the essence of the original work and truly showed the magnificent society; but this is too dull and boring. Cod seems to have lost his ability to interpret and is just refining The original book does not have its own opinions and opinions at all. In this regard, it is even worse than Cameron McIntosh.

Look, shortcomings, shortcomings, shortcomings. This is art. Every art has a different interpretation. Every reader and every audience can interpret their own things in their minds. This is the greatest part of art. So, is the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables" really terrible?

No, on the contrary, I think this is the best work in the West End since the millennium. none of them.

Renly Hall, this is the answer.

This actor, who is only 22 years old, is a genius. He seems to be born for this stage, standing on the stage, every move, every smile is natural, everything is so natural, contains huge energy, through the skin and body, really let the soul feel To shock.

Playing the role of Jean-Agen, from his youth to his old age, Hall's performance came at his fingertips and was done in one go. Wonderful, this is the only interjection. Of course, several of Hall's monologues show the top level of the West End, but personally, my favorite is a transitional drama without lines.

Towards the end of the whole play, the play reached a moment of sublimation and deepening. Hall only used one to get up, one to move forward, and one to pause, and the flowing performances extracted the weight of the whole work. The actor's performance is full of spirituality and heavyness. It has not been sculpted in the slightest, but it is freely retractable, and it is so beautiful that it is dazzling.

God, I really like this actor.

Since the death of Laurence-Oliver (Laurence-Oliver), for many years, we have not found such a talented actor, lines, singing, body, body, expression, and even the eyes, the kind of soul that burst out from the inside out Energy is addictive.

How many reasons do you need to like a show? For me, only one is needed. "

In his long review, Nick gave all the words of praise without hesitation, and continued his usual tricky and demanding style. His position clearly stated his personal feelings and attitudes. What's more interesting is that , In terms of rating, he also gave the highest rating of five stars——

Even in a longer career, Nick has given only a handful of five-star reviews. However, this is not uncommon, because in the comments, he has compared Renly with Lawrence Oliver.

Lawrence Oliver, the greatest Shakespearean actor in British history, is not one of them.

With regard to Shakespeare's plays and the understanding and control of stage performances, Lawrence can be called the pinnacle and a well-deserved legend. He has been in the West End for nearly sixty years. Later, he also entered the film field. Not only did he gain a lot of recognition from the Oscars, but also because of his own. The performance is much loved by the ***, and three times have been awarded different jazz titles-the highest title has reached the baron level, to express their respect.

By the way, George Hall is the title of Baron.

In 1984, the highest award for British drama and musicals was named the "Oliver Award" to commend the legendary superstar's status in film history; now, the British Oliver Award and the American Tony Award are jointly called the highest awards in the theater industry, and have a lofty status. It even surpassed Oscar for the field of film.

In addition, after Lawrence's death in 1989, he was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Now Nick mentioned Lawrence Oliver in his review. Any language becomes pale and weak, just this analogy is enough to see Nick's admiration and love.

But this is Nick. Hate to the extreme, love to the extreme, always so ups and downs, completely not worried about the possibility of hacking oneself or Lan Li.

In the "Times", Nick also wrote a short comment, "An actor who is hard to ignore, feel the extreme shock of the performance! Excellent viewing experience! God, what are you waiting for?"

The succinct words carry a hint of ridicule and excitement. People who are familiar can even paint the excited face of Nick roar in their minds, as if they are widening their eyes, shouting in surprise and excitement, "What are you waiting for?"

From Alistair Smith to Nick Morris, these two authoritative critics in the industry started from two different audience levels and immediately spread the excellent reputation of "Les Miserables".

Relatively speaking, the influence of "stage" newspapers is more confined to real professionals, and only stage fans and art practitioners will subscribe and pay attention. However, although the audience is relatively narrow and the sales volume is not high, the circulation rate is very profound. According to the survey, after each newspaper is sold, it will be circulated in the hands of at least six audiences——

To put it simply, a theater lover bought today's "stage", and at the afternoon tea, after reading it, his friends will also take it over and read it. This number is at least six.

It can be seen that the depth of influence of the "stage" is incomparable.

On the other hand, the "Times" has a broader influence. For most ordinary audiences, this is one of the newspapers that must be read every morning, on the subway, in the office, at breakfast, and so on. They may just habitually flip through the newspapers, and then read the reviews of the latest dramas ~lightnovelpub.net~ and attract attention.

In other words, the breadth of influence of The Times is second to none.

But when the two parts of the audience cross-influenced, the influence of the two authoritative figures, Aristel and Nick, was further revealed, and began to spread out in a mighty manner.

At the same time, in addition to the "Stage" and the "Times", other drama critics also sent their own professional comments in the first time, in newspapers, in magazines, and on the Internet; There are audiences who participated in the premiere, and the only 350 tickets are precious. At this moment, I finally waited for the time to return——

The audience who lined up all night to grab tickets were not only the first audience to watch the show, but also became a few opinion leaders on the Internet:

They can answer the questions of other netizens, "Is the work really as good as Alistair Smith and Nick Morris said?" "What kind of experience is it to watch the show at close range? "Does Lan Li-Hall really dedicate a top performance again?"

Answer: Yes.
