Посмотрела сегодня в кино
Merrily We Roll Along (та самая постановка в театре Гарольда Пинтера), это действительно прекрасный спектакль, умная пьеса с киношной структурой и использованием флэшбэков, с отличными актёрскими работами, вокально там поражать негде, в общем-то, но все идеально фразируют и эмоционально попадают. Сондхайм умник, конечно. Потрясающе сыграна сцена интервью на тв- "Franklin Shepard, Inc." Дженна Расселл и её Мэри- это надо видеть, потому что мастер-класс. Вообще, весь каст хвалить надо.
И да, merrily we roll along...
Ну и о насущном:

“This wasn’t a failure,” Moir said, sounding like he actually meant it. “We don’t look back on this and think we made a mistake by not switching coaches.”
“They’re the only two who know what we’ve gone through,” said Virtue. “That friendship and that respect has continued, particularly with Charlie.”
“We were both pretty blunt with her in the fall and even leading up to the Olympics,” Moir said.
“We weren’t happy (ed. Note: that again) and we felt like sometimes she wasn’t in our corner. She handled that tremendously well. She’s been with us now for ten years. I really think that she loves us. Um. She poured her heart into our choreography. She’s not in an easy position.”
Then the key sentiment, again from Moir: “She can’t win no matter what because (amused pause) … well, she does win no matter what.”
They knew. They won’t say it, but they knew they couldn’t win in Sochi.

"But in the kiss-and-cry it was special. We were able to look at each other and reflect on 17 years. And what a journey we've had. We're lucky kids."
White said he and Moir "would be playing hockey together for sure."
"We're linked forever," White said. "These moments, all of the moments have brought us together and will keep us together forever."
"It's not likely we'll be calling each other every day," Virtue said jokingly. "But I know when we see one another it will be like picking up from where we left off. This is a really special thing to have experienced together and that will keep us forever bonded."

Moir said they went to Zoueva "on countless occasions" to tell her they would not be happy with a silver medal.
"We felt a little bit like it was getting away from us," Moir said. "We were trying to get balance. She listened to us and kind of reshaped our programs. She's an artist, too, and wanted to keep her vision."
