STAGE TUBE: On This Day 12/15 - Rugantino

RUGANTINO compie 50 anni! Oggi nel 1962, RUGANTINO, una delle commedie musicali più apprezzate del repertorio G&G, debuttava al Teatro Sistina di Roma. Lo spettacolo si avvale delle musiche del M° Armando Trovajoli mentre il testo porta le firme di Pietro Garinei, Sandro Giovannini, Pasquale Festa Campanile, Massimo Franciosa e Luigi Magni. Il cast della produzione originale vedeva Nino Manfredi nei panni del mascalzone Rugantino, il compianto Aldo Fabrizi in quelli di Mastro Titta, Lea Massari nel ruolo di Rosetta e Bice Valori in quello di Eusebia. Scene e costumi erano del grande Giulio Coltellacci e le coreografie di Dania Krupska (sostituita per la seconda edizione da Gino Landi).

Lo straordinario successo di RUGANTINO in Italia, convinse l'impresario teatale Alexander Cohen a far rappresentare la commedia anche in America: dopo qualche serata a Toronto, lo spettacolo si trasferì a Broadway nel 1964, al Mark Hellinger Theatre, dove fece sold-out per tre settimane.

Ad oggi RUGANTINO conta ben sei edizioni che hanno visto alternarsi artisti del calibro di Enrico Montesano, Alida Chelli, Valerio Mastandrea, Sabrina Ferilli, Maurizio Mattioli, Michele La Ginestra, Edy Angelillo... L'ultimo revival risale al 2010, con la regia originale di Garinei e Giovannini riprodotta da Enrico Brignano. Il cast era capitanato dallo stesso Brignano (Rugantino), affiancato da Maurizio Mattioli (per la quarta volta consecutiva nei panni di Mastro Titta), Emy Bergamo (Rosetta) e Paola Tiziana Cruciani (Eusebia).

In basso, il video della famosissima "Roma nun fa' la stupida stasera" tratto dalla ripresa RAI del 1980. Cogliamo l'occasione per fare un ultimo saluto ad Alida Chelli, qui in coppia con Montesano. L'attrice e showgirl si è spenta ieri sera dopo tanti anni di malattia.

Nino PratticoAntonino (Nino) Prattico' was born on January 13, 1993 in Milan. He grew up in Reggio Calabria where he lived with his parents and his little brother until 2011. After graduation, he moved to Rome in order to undertake a bilingual degree course in Law at LUMSA University but he always dreamed to be a journalist. Since he was a child, Nino has showed a strong passion for entertainment: music, dance, drama… but his effective encounter with musical theatre (and theatre in general) occurred in 2007, when he got in contact with a local amateur theatrical company, specialized in the production of musicals. His curiosity drove him to be interested in various facets of this sector: its history, today's situation, repertoire and behind the scenes. At the present time, for fun, he dedicates himself to the adaptation and translation of American musicals in Italian language. Among his favorite shows: Gypsy, How To Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying), La Cage Aux Folles, Hello Dolly! and Mame. He’s very happy to have the chance to conciliate his greatest passion with his dream and he’s very happy to have the chance to do it with BroadwayWorld.com
