Finale
This musical has won many awards and nominations. Almost as much as the original film of 1994. The musical, which was released in 2014, has long been in development – 14 years – because its creators were not fully convinced that it is the right thing to produce it. They wanted it to be as bright, sparkling and seductive, like a film that was so perfectly executed by Woody Allen, but weren’t sure how to do it in this way.
Not all critics loved the production. There were those that declared, as if this creation is on the brink. That it was not so much bright as loud. But overall, the feedback was positive and it allowed it to take 6 Tony, 6 Drama Desk Award nominations and 1 win, 3 wins out of 4 nominations on Outer Critics Circle Award.
March of 2014 was the opening for preview and one month later, it was opened to the public. Susan Stroman was both director and choreographer. Santo Loquasto was responsible for the stage design, the lighting handled by Donald Holder. Costumes prepared by William Long. The actors were as follows: B. Ashmanskas, M. Mazzie, V. Pastore, Z. Braff, K. Ziemba & N. Cordero.
The main music is jazz and popular, including blues, songs of the period of 1920 – 1930th. It was a medium success on Broadway – only 156 shows, if we consider them without 33 previews. The national tour was launched in October 2015 with the start in Cleveland, Ohio, lasting there for two weeks.
During the development of musical accompaniment, it was first decided that it will contain new songs. But when they were listened by Woody Allen, he did not come to believe that they are suitable for a musical. Therefore, there raised an idea to use old songs from the period of the 1930s, which came very well.
