Odette - The Dark Side of Swan Lake
A musical showing “the dark side of Swan Lake”, which adds the unknown back-story to the familiar tale. Originally commissioned for and produced at the Bridewell Theatre, London.
"Fantastic music, a wonderful, glorious score and a great
story... It would probably be a huge hit in the West End." "I have seen most musicals worth seeing (and many more not worth
seeing), but few match this. ODETTE shows "the dark side of Swan Lake", adding a
compelling back-story to the familiar tale. The music is thrilling, haunting and
memorable, the lyrics witty yet poignant, and the large cast multitalented. For
a show boasting everything a great musical should, look beyond the West End and
don’t miss it." "Alexander S. Bermange has created an interesting and accessible
score. The ensemble pieces are filled with dramatic tension and there is a
delicate balance of moving romantic ballads and acerbic comedy." "I have enjoyed witnessing Alexander S.
Bermange's development as a writer of musicals over many years and I am sure
that ODETTE will be a further step on his road to the front rank of British
composers and lyricists."
