1057 Glorious Ending

"New York Times", "If anyone else is questioning why Renly Hall can become the youngest Oscar winner in history? Then be sure to come to Broadway to watch the adapted version of "Les Miserables". The performance of this young actor is delicate and powerful, tough and surging. There is no doubt that he is the leader among the younger generation of generations of Y!"

"New Yorker", "The charm of the performance and the tension of the drama were fully displayed on the Broadway stage. The six-hour performance still makes people feel reluctant and unable to extricate themselves, rather than boring, like a needle and needle, Renli Hall successfully did this."

"Wall Street Journal", "For the new generation of young people, even movies have gradually begun to retreat to the Internet, and Broadway is even more ancient. But if the younger generation is interested in the art form of Broadway, then 'Les Miserables' is undoubtedly a good and excellent start, not only because Renly Hall has dedicated its top performances, but also because of the familiar stories and magnificent background, it truly presents a period of history and an era."

"People" magazine, "the most worthy play in the theater since the millennium, 'Les Miserables'."

"Chicago Tribune", "John Cod gives this familiar story a deeper meaning; while Renly Hall gives these meanings a vivid interpretation."

"Seattle Post", "Please go to Richard Rogers Theater! This will be the most correct decision this summer."

"New York Post," "If you need a reason to come to Broadway, then Renly Hall will be the best answer; if you need a window to learn about the drama, then Renly Hall will be the best answer. Obviously, no one can reject Renly Hall's charm, especially when he stands on the stage and reveals his strong chest."

...Wait, amid the praise, the style of painting suddenly seemed to be a little wrong.

However, this is the style of the "New York Post". Compared with the "New York Times", it is not as serious and dull, more humorous and relaxed, and occasionally makes some jokes. Of course, this is only relative.

When John Cod's version of "Les Miserables" landed on Broadway, the popularity of London's West End was already well known. This was a repertoire of acclaimed tour; but despite this, when the American industry media published their professional remarks at the first time after the premiere night, it still caused a burst of exclamations.

The real zero-negative work, and not the zero-negative review of "80" but the zero-negative review of "90" or even "95 points", has vigorously pushed the reputation of "Les Miserables" to its peak.

Everyone knows that drama critics are undoubtedly harsh, tricky and picky. They never care about top superstars and super brands. They speak out loud, speak sharply, and have full firepower. But what people don’t know is that professional drama critics are also focused and devoted. For the sake of their favorite drama industry and the gradually disappearing drama industry, they love it so much, and they are deeply responsible for it.

Therefore, for those excellent works, drama critics never stingy with their praise, and wish they could tell the whole world that everyone would come to the theater and appreciate the style of the theater stage. If possible, they would even be willing to stand at the door of the theater and tell every audience endlessly how outstanding this play is and how worthy of appreciation.

In this way, they hope to continue the vitality of drama and continue to survive in this fast food era.

This time, "Les Miserables" received such treatment.

The only regret for New York drama critics is that the length of six hours is that for American millennial young people who lack cultural precipitation and quality, they will not even want to go to the theater and refuse to suffer six hours of torture, even if it is a masterpiece.

Under the influence of fast food era and online culture, the young generation is gradually losing patience, which is a global issue. But in comparison, Europe's cultural heritage is still deeper, so "Les Miserables" has achieved great success in London and infected young people; the United States, which was spoiled by the bombardment of Hollywood popcorn, does not have such precipitation.

This is a regret, but the drama critics have also admitted that this regret has just made the excellence and excellence of the "Les Miserables", and the magnificent and magnificent background is told in a leisurely manner. This is like the "Arab Lawrence" and "Ben Hu" back then. Such epic works, the former is 216 minutes and the Houhe 212 minutes, are enough preparation and connotation, which is the symbol of the success of the work.

Of course, the same is true for the 21st century "The Lord of the Rings" series.

As a result, the entire New York drama critics were in full swing. The praises were like a wave of praise, and they were really like a wave of praise, even far beyond imagination. Those calm and low-key drama critics stood up one by one, couldn't wait to give praise, calling the audience to enter the theater at the top of their lungs and enjoy this rare masterpiece.

Even if people have been mentally prepared and witnessed such a frenzy with their own eyes, they are still shocked.

People praised Lan Li even more for her.

This young actor, who is about to turn 23, carries the halo of the youngest Oscar winner in history. He can choose to star in any Hollywood work, but he chose London's West End and Broadway. He spent more than half a year to constantly polish himself on the theater stage. This dedication and concentration have won the recognition of the entire theater industry.

What's more, his solid performance skills, excellent stage abilities, and delicate rhythm control truly demonstrated his ability and talent as an actor, re-given the unique charm of the character Ran Ahjong, and conquered the critical eyes of the drama critics with his absolute strength. This is undoubtedly awe-inspiring.

Of course, with personal reputation, Lanli successfully created a surging crowd on Broadway, once again allowing people to see the glory of their peak period and even hoped to promote the recovery of the entire drama industry. This is definitely a breakthrough for drama critics.

According to rumors, New York's drama critics circles say that everyone has watched at least five "Les Miserables", which is the lowest limit, not the average number.

Every critic is joining the wave in his own way; at the same time, they also carefully pondered the drama through watching over and over again, hoping that John Cod and Renly Hall could do better.

"Les Miserables" has become the hottest focus of New York. Not only John and Renly, but also other young actors in the same drama, whether it is the famous Tom Holland or the fledgling Joe Alvin, they have won a lot of attention. People have examined these young actors from a more detailed and in-depth perspective and paid attention to their future prospects.

From London to New York, this craze has continued to grow. Even on the North American continent, the more mature business model and the more ingrained market appeal of Lanley have successfully created greater, longer and far-reaching waves for the "Les Miserables".

Three months and a quarter sounded extremely long, but when you were in it, you could only feel the passing of time. Before you could enjoy it carefully, the performance of "Les Miserables" on Broadway had come to an end.

The entire performance season still showed a difference, with Renli's ending performance as a watershed.

In the two months before this, Richard Rogers Theater ushered in a surging and endless stream of surging events. This is a scene that has never been seen since the new century, and it is hard to find a real ticket. Even VIP private rooms are like this. From the first day of the premiere night to the last day of the ending performance, the entire theater reached 100% attendance. People can't help but joke that the VIP private rooms have become the latest standard for measuring the upper class in New York.

In the month that followed, the craze at Richard Rogers Theater quickly subsided. In the performance after Lanley finished, the attendance rate dropped to 80%, showing a cliff-like decline. This was obviously not good news for the theater, but it also indirectly confirmed a point of view: people came for Lanley, which once again proved Lanley's appeal.

Then, the attendance rate further declined. When all the performances officially ended, the average attendance rate remained at about 70%, with lows and rebounds. Overall, the box office trend was still beyond expectations, which was above the inner expectations of the theater manager.

This also verifies the predictions of professionals in London and New York: After the curiosity and impulse brought by Lanley's personal appeal, the aftermath of the drama industry still exists, and will more or less re-drive the industry's progress. But what level can be reached depends on the quality of subsequent works.

It was a long and difficult journey, but at least they took the first step. It was like "Don Quixote" and the ballad.

Therefore, both Almeida Theater and Richard Rogers Theater both issued official announcements, officially announcing that "Les Miserables" will stay in the theater to continue performing, adopting a brand new cast lineup, and John Cod will serve as a guest director and producer to ensure the quality of the work; in addition, Renly Hall is also named a co-producer and will be responsible for casting and training of the actors.

John Cod's version of "Les Miserables" will be staged at the Almeda Theater for at least one year, while Richard Rogers Theater will be six months. Whether the follow-up will continue, or even tour in other cities around the world, will be watched.

This is an advancement, a huge progress, and for the theater industry, for John and Renly.

Also, the same is true for fans who like Renly.
