The Greatest Showman

Standing next to the gate, through the wide lattice windows, the whole garden can be seen, the gurgling marble fountain, the angel statue playing the harp, and two oriole resting on the arms, chirping and singing; The gardeners are focusing on repairing weeds. After summer, the lawn begins to grow wildly and wildly; on the old bluestone driveway, moss and weeds are stubbornly looking for living space in the gaps.

A villa is not a manor after all. The small garden is clear at a glance, every detail can be clearly seen, and the road facing the street can be seen at a glance. Even in Bayswater, where house prices are relatively cheap, it is still London, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

A villa is already the ultimate for the poor nobles.

To stay in London, for the nobles of the upper class, this is dignity, this is pride, this is the bottom line. Even if it is a small apartment, there is no special dressing room, no separation of bathroom and toilet, no small garden, but, "always better than living in the country", at least, they can attend a variety of Dinners and events, they can stay in the spotlight.

Fortunately, the Halls still kept their villa. Eight master bedrooms and two living rooms are not luxurious, but they barely retain their decency.

Philip Demba walked down the stairs with square and regular steps, the footsteps completely disappeared on the low-key and gorgeous Turkish red carpet, the neatly ironed three-piece gray suit still maintained the restraint and tightness of the tightly stitched , Even in the turmoil of early summer, that meticulous behavior was not affected in any way.

Opening the door gracefully, the old door panel groaned and groaned, revealing the history and heritage of the house - it can also be said to be dilapidated and old, Philip smiled politely and decently, and greeted the postman who came to the door.

"Morning! Sir, you are still so punctual." The postman showed a big smile, rummaged through his messenger bag, counted the letters, and handed them over to Philip one by one, "Hopefully have a good day."

Philip nodded, closed the door lightly, stood at the door of the concierge compartment next to him, lowered his head and began to read the letters in his hand, filtered out junk mail, and then sorted all the mails one by one, those of finance and work. , will be sent directly to the study; those personal letters will be sent to each owner separately.

Ironing newspapers, sorting mail. This was Philip's second thing every morning, making sure to start the day with newspapers and mail at hand while George Hall and Elizabeth Hall had breakfast. As for the first thing, it is to ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

The same job, after holding on for more than 40 years, has long been familiar to Philip. A little boring, but always focused.

The skilled hands paused for a moment, looking at the blue envelope in his hand, Philip hesitated for a moment. It's a spam email, an advertising email to be precise, at least it looks like it.

The lower right corner of the envelope was marked, "Almeida Theater," indicating that it was a promotional letter from the theater.

In London, where theatre, opera, ballet and other performances are prosperous, there are countless such letters, which can be divided into two types: one is pure spam, which is widely distributed after printing advertisements for promotion by theaters; one is special Member emails, regularly update the list of plays for the next month to three months to their members, for reference only.

Philip judged it to be spam because the Halls were not guests of the Almeida Theater.

The Almeida Theatre is a veteran in London, but after changing the theatre manager, it has become aggressive and is always willing to promote more fresh, unique and young creative repertoire. This is definitely a good thing for art, to maintain the vitality of creation; but the accompanying shortcomings are also very obvious. The promotion of new talents, the gathering of grassroots, and the slanted swordsmanship, many repertoires are young works that keep pace with the times.

This is a double-edged sword. The aristocrats of the upper class, on the one hand, claim to have profound artistic attainments; on the other hand, they cherish their feathers, and are only willing to watch those classic plays—such as Shakespeare, and refuse to lower their style and standard, and watch those unique plays from the grassroots.

Occasionally, the Almeida Theatre can indeed be a blockbuster, and there are many young people in the noble group among the guests in the audience, and even some old aristocrats who call themselves artists will condescend to visit the Almeida Theatre.

However, in social situations, they always hold a scathing high-minded attitude, half-jokingly mocking the vulgarity and mediocrity of the Almeida Theater, and at the same time add, "But the repertoire is still good" to express themselves. The artistic literacy is objective enough and elegant enough.

Be a / bitch / son, but also the archway. The high society of the 21st century is like this; celebrities from all walks of life all over the world are still flocking to it.

If Philip remembers correctly, the Halls have only seen the Almeida play twice, and they are definitely not members of the theater. Naturally, this is spam.

But Philip hesitated. The touch of the fingertips can feel the difference in the paper quality of the envelopes. Such small details can only be distinguished by those who have undergone years of training. In the Hall family, only Philip can do this - after all, it is the 21st century, and the aristocratic tradition has long been fragmented and fragmented.

Putting down the other letters, Philip looked at the front and back of the letter carefully, then picked up the letter opener and opened the letter neatly.

Sealed and pulled out the letterhead inside. As a steward, this is his purview; if necessary, private letters can also be directly unsealed—

Being tight-lipped is the basic quality of a noble housekeeper. Even after witnessing the secret, they know what to see and what not to see.

This is not spam, but an official invitation.

Official formal invitation from the Almeida Theatre.

"On May 18, the Almeida Theater will hold the premiere of the new play "Les Miserables". The play will be divided into the first half and the second half. The opening party time of the first half is 2:30, the official start time It's three o'clock sharp; the opening party time of the second half is 8:15, the official start time is 8:30. The whole play lasts for six hours.

Every drama lover is welcome to watch the show at the Almeida Theater. "

This is not the whole of the invitation letter, followed by an introduction booklet of the whole play, which introduces the entire production team and creative inspiration in detail, as well as the most important cast list, the list of all the actors of the first lineup and the second lineup .

When it comes to watching shows in the West End and Broadway, the cast is definitely a priority. The classic arias of classic repertoires are absolutely familiar to senior audiences. The reason why they take the trouble to enjoy the same repertoire, over and over again, is to appreciate the different sparks bursting out of different cast lineups, and the different actors who have different opinions on the same repertoire. Different interpretations of roles.

Whether it's a veteran actor or a rookie actor. After the cast list is out, it will become the focus of discussion.

The correct way to watch a play is: to understand the production lineup and cast of the play, to understand the background of the play’s story and the source of allusions, to learn more about the creative inspiration of the play, or to compare and contrast previous versions.

These are just the preparatory work. After arriving at the theater, in the opening party, the audience will share each other's views, exchange views with each other, and put forward their own expectations; then, this is the part of watching the play, but this is not the case. It is still not the end; after the play is over, the communication with the main creators, the communication with professional drama critics, and the communication with other audiences will all be completed at another party.

Watching the play is not only watching the play, but also watching the background. Whether it's the opening party or the closing party, your views, opinions, and ways of communicating all show your heritage and knowledge, as well as your family education and literacy.

Why can't the nouveau riche integrate into the circles of the upper class? That's why; why is the aura of the nobility always so powerful? That's why.

"Les Miserables" is a very special show.

Every theatre lover in London has seen it, this is a sure "everyone", 100%; but, at the same time, it is also the object of rejection and contempt by senior theatre lovers in London because of the overly commercialized packaging and operation , has now become an introductory repertoire enjoyed by tourists. In order to show their style, senior audiences will not enter the Queen's Theatre to watch.

Now, the Almeida Theater is rehearsing "Les Miserables" again, and it's a drastic six hours? This is really too bold.

Suddenly, Philip recalled a small thing in his mind.

In early March, Renly quietly returned to London. At that time, he had just won the Oscar statuette and became the youngest actor in history. In just one month, he had climbed to the top of Berlin and the Oscars, which was definitely attracting everyone's attention; however, just as everyone was looking forward to the blue When Li's next move was made, Renly announced through his agent that he would be involved in a theatrical performance and would not be taking any films or TV works for the time being.

After the news came out, it caused a lot of heated discussions.

Undoubtedly, praise still prevailed, and everyone could see that Renly returned to the theater stage again to hone his basic acting skills and exercise his acting ability. This is for a young actor who has just reached the top of the world. , is really too rare. What is even more rare is that the official news has confirmed that this play has been arranged a long time ago, and during the filming process of "Edge of Tomorrow", the arrangement has been closely contacted.

After the Oscars ended, it was just a step-by-step process.

After returning to London, Renly moved into Matthew's apartment in Notting Hill and officially began rehearsals. In the blink of an eye, ten weeks have passed. Could it be this show?
