Profile for Adversus

Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much for all your suggestions. The expectations are high after our version of RENT!

The list is getting longer, but also did we scratch some titles off the list. 

PIPPIN has a great story and thematics, but for young talents maybe too difficult to actually deliver the kind of gracious and authority the roles need..

CABARET is a powerful story, but maybe a little too dark for a talentshow, we guess.

Has anyone more information about RUNAWAYS? I can't find the music on Spotify. Was it on Broadway before?

HEATHERS is totally new for me, I am not the TikTok generation, but it's absolutely the audience we try to reach with our stories. I am listening the cast recording which sounds various and cool.

LAZARUS is now in Holland in a professional version from producer Stage Entertainment, not the right timing and the version from Ivo van Hove is already so strong that I don't know a director who has a clear and different vision to direct this musical right now.

AMERICAN PSYCHO, is familiar to me as a movie... but was it on Broadway?

What is your opinion about rock musicals like TABOO, BARE, JAGGED LITTLE PILL and EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT JAMIE? Which one is the best combination of good music and a moving story?

A modern adaptation of PARADE is also on our minds. Is this show not too 'American historical' and therefore only palpable for US people and not Europeans?

Look at all the shows we played before at https://hetnieuwetheater.nl/portfolio/

Never heard of! But sound really really interesting. Now listening to the cast recording on Spotify. Sounds vivid and certainly with a rock sound!

We find the storyline too thin.

 

What do you guys think about JAGGED LITTLE PILL and EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT JAMIE?

Yes, we are thinking about a modern adaptation of these shows!

Yes we're located in Holland, in Eindhoven. Every show we are looking for a unique location. Philips used to be located from origin in Eindhoven and that is why many old factories have remained in the architecture. See pictures below.

With RENT we could use an old fabric hall where they used to generate lightning bolts. 

Our theatre company THE NEW THEATRE produces every year a new title for young talented actors and singers as a stepping stone to their future education as a professional performer.

Spring Awakening was showered with awards and we made contemporary version of that in 2016, just as RENT and Tick, Tick... BOOM! in 2018. Both of them very raw shows with an extraordinary cast.

Now we are in preparation for a new season, but still doubting which show has to follow up these rock musicals with sex, drugs, rock & roll, good music and an outstanding storyline. Can you help us out with some recommendations?
