Sette Spose per Sette Fratelli Returns to Rome's Teatro Brancaccio
The stage adaptation 'Sette Spose per Sette Fratelli', based on the 1954 movie, has made its way back to Teatro Brancaccio in Rome, under the direction and choreography of Luciano Cannito. This production merges Hollywood flair with elements reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino, utilizing projected titles. With musical direction by Peppe Vessicchio and translation by Michele Renzullo, it evokes a whimsical 1850s Oregon setting. The 22-member cast showcases exceptional talent. Lead actors Diana del Bufalo (Milly) and Baz (Adamo) have been hailed as 'the new couple of Italian musical', particularly highlighting Del Bufalo's impressive performance in 'Solo lui'.
