OLIVER TWIST IN PARIS
OLIVER (the musical) has known quite a few revivals, from Broadway to the West End, and has been a well-deserved success for decades. Sistabro productions decided to gather experienced professionals to set up Oliver on stage in Paris.
JEAN-DANIEL VUILLERMOZ, Costume Designer, chose our production offices and preparation rooms for this project. Week after week, creation of costumes, selection of fabrics, fittings, breaking-down and tv interviews (amongst others) added extra life to La Compagnie’s activities.
Oliver Twist was played at a newly refurbished SALLE GAVEAU and despite the modest size of this location, the magical happened. Ambitions were higher than for most of the french musical productions, apart from Théâtre du Châtelet’s.
“(…) Surtout, on a vu dans cet « Oliver Twist ” une création aux ambitions plus relevées que la moyenne du genre en France (exception faite des succès du Châtelet). Ladislas Chollat n’y est pas pour rien… Ce conte moderne est à même de plaire aux petits et aux grands, sans excès de mièvrerie. Courez à Gaveau – c’est Noël avant l’heure.”
