⭐ ELTON JOHN & TIM RICE’S AIDA REVIVAL – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED – APRIL 2023 ⭐
The brand new revival of Elton John & Tim Rice’s Aida is set to open in the Netherlands next year, it has been announced.
The world premiere of the reworked and updated production is set for 23rd April 2023 at the AFAS Circustheater in Scheveningen, Netherlands.
Stage Entertainment Nederland and Disney Theatrical Productions have announced that Gaia Aikman will star as Aida, April Darby as Amneris, and Naidjim Severina as Radames, for this upcoming production.
The updated version of Aida will differ in a number of respects from the original production, with the iconic music and lyrics by Sir Elton John (The Lion King, Billy Elliot) and Tim Rice (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita) remaining the same, but the creative team, led by director Schele Williams, has given the musical a contemporary feel without compromising its original quality.
Aida is a compelling tale of star-crossed lovers belonging to feuding nations, torn between their conflicted loyalties to their countries and to each other. With its stirring contemporary score and its powerful love story, Aida reveals that we have the power to change history, but only when we make brave choices and embrace our destiny.
The revival will feature a revised book by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang.
The Tony Award-winning design team of Bob Crowley (set & costume design) and Natasha Katz (lighting design) will also return to reinterpret their original designs.
Aida will be directed by Schele Williams, with choreography by Camille A. Brown and musical supervision by Tony Award-winning Jason Michael Webb.
Sir Tim Rice has previously revealed that there are plans for this revival to come to London after, though no further details have yet been announced.
FINALLY! ! !
