The main premiere of the season in the regional Youth Theater

The Moscow Regional Theater for Young Spectators in the 2015 season gave girls and boys a musical performance "Lady Perfection". This is a wonderful magical story that several generations have grown up with. The performance used M. Dunaevsky's songs from the film "Mary Poppins". But many do not know what entered the picturefar from all the musical material that was created for her by the composer. The censorship of the Soviet Union missed not all the songs. The theatrical production of the regional Youth Theater includes all the compositions written by Maxim Dunayevsky. The director of the play is Mikhail Borisov, head of the department of directing at the famous Shchukin School and Variety School at GITIS. The role of Mary Poppins is played by Nonna Grishaeva. The leadership of the Youth Theater decided to introduce this story into the repertoire for the reason that it is a kind fairy tale, it has a lot of sincerity and warmth, which is so lacking in our life and in art.

The musical director of the performance "Lady Perfection" is Gelsyat Shaydulova - GITIS professor, composer. Her songs are in the repertoire of Larisa Dolina, Lev Leshchenko. She worked on the music for the Ilya Averbukh ice show, wrote many songs for children. She also collaborated with the famous composer Enio Morricone. Pavel Ivlev acted as choreographer. He was busy in Russian versions of the musicals Notre Dame de Paris, Cabaret, Romeo and Juliet. The scenery was created by the artist S. Zohrabyan (winner of the Golden Mask). The performance is impressive. It has everything: music, dancing, stunts, soap bubbles, flying, giant puppets, live singing.
