TORONTO – After months of rehearsals in a shabby warehouse on the edge of the Don River Valley in Toronto, a lavish stage version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” is coming to life in previews at the Princess of Wales Theatre. If Tolkien’s three-part saga about that elusive ring is one of those mammoth, legendary adventures, a quest to end all quests, it has nothing on the task of turning the author’s lengthy, meticulously detailed world into a piece of theater. Yet, here it comes – a three-hour-plus adaptation of Tolkien’s trilogy. Set for a grand opening March 23, the show has a cast of nearly 60 actors and costs upward of $23 million – and counting. By comparison, “The Phantom of the Opera,” which cost a record $8 million when it opened on Broadway in 1988, would have a $12 million price tag today. [More]
TORONTO – Few things could be harder than staging the most expensive theatrical production in history. Fewer still could be harder than adapting 1,200 plot- and action-filled pages, each of them worshiped by generations of readers, to a 3-1/2 hour show and setting it to music. But perhaps the hardest part of bringing “The Lord of the Rings” to the stage is having to make major revisions just weeks before opening night. Tell the ruthless, faceless Orcs to put down their swords before giving them the news. Mount stilts, duck the stage lights, and look a three-story-high Treebeard in the eye when you break it to him. Bounce the revisions off Gollum and wait for him to say that he’s of two minds about it. [More]
