“My Fair Lady” is based on G.B. Show’s 1916 play “Pygmalion” and tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flowerseller chosen from the streets by a professor of linguistics and transformed into a lady. This current production opened in 2001 starring Martine McCutcheon from the TV soap “EastEnders”. It features well-known songs such as “ I’m getting married in the morning” and “On the street where you live”.
“Bombay Dreams” is based in the Indian film industry and features an all-Asian cast. The story centres around Akaash, a poor boy played by Raza Jaffrey, who becomes a film star and falls in love with the daughter of one of Bombay’s greatest film directors. The show features modern Indian pop music, such as “Shakalaka Baby”, and dazzling costumes and choreography. It opened in 2002 and quickly became one of the most popular shows in London.
“We Will Rock You” opened in 2002. This musical, with a script by comedian Ben Elton, takes place in the future, when rock music is illegal. The story is based on famous songs by Queen such as “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “I Want to Break Free”, the set resembles a rock concert and there are plenty of special effects. And Tony Vincent, who plays the hero Galileo Figaro, sounds very like Queen’s lead singer, Freddie Mercury.

Я театрал. В нашем городе много различных театров. Мне нравится наш оперный театр. Оперные певцы и танцоры нашего оперного театра известны во всем мире. Я смотрел несколько представлений в оперном театре. Мой любимый спектакль – балет « Лебединое Озеро». Декорации, костюмы, танцы
просто великолепны. Я предпочитаю сидеть в партере. Билетер показывает места в зрительном зале. Композитор – Чайковский. Мой любимый балетный танцор в главной роли. Иногда мы берем бинокль. Я всегда читаю программку перед представлением.
