Ten subscription shows, with national names and previews. The Teatro Lendi in via A. Volta 176 (provincial road Grumo Nevano-Sant'Arpino) returns to the Gran Caffè Gambrinus, as is now tradition, to present the 2018/2019 season.
The journey begun six years ago by Francesco Scarano, director of what over time has become an oasis of culture in a provincial territory, where only passion can push one to work with consistency and enthusiasm, continues with success.
“This year the program is based on comedy, music and comedy, to satisfy the desires of an increasingly large audience – says Francesco Scarano –. From the first moment I started working at the Teatro Lendi I never stopped believing that it would become a point of reference for the Campania region. Today it really is. Thanks to the artists who believe in the project and thanks to the audience that has always followed us”.
The new season opens in November with two national previews, “I fiori del latte” with Biagio Izzo (from 7 to 9 November) and “Colpo di scena” with Carlo Buccirosso (from 28 to 30 November); and closes with three extraordinary women on stage Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Michela Andreozzi and Vittoria Belvedere in “Figlie di Eva” (from 10 to 13 April).
Also this year at Lendi will come the announced sold out of Massimo Ranieri who from 5 to 7 December will be on stage with “Malia Napoletana”, a journey through the great classics of Neapolitan song revisited in jazz key, from “Malafemmina” by Totò to “Dove sta Zazà”, passing through “Strada 'nfosa” by Modugno and “Torero” by Carosone. From 26 to 28 December the stage will be of Peppe Iodice, very popular and extraordinary comic champion now consolidated darling of the public with “Un Natale all'improvvisa”, which reviews tics, habits, customs and bad habits of those who, overweight and fleeing from the tables laden, will head to the theater to attend a real salad of reinforcement of comedy.
In January there is Federico Salvatore who in “Malalengua” (from 9 to 11 January) becomes an unmasked Pulcinella who brings on stage all the contradictions that make Naples different from the rest of the world; and Sal Da Vinci in “Sinfonie in Sal Maggiore” (from 23 to 25 January), where the Neapolitan singer-songwriter's traveling companions become a 50-piece orchestra directed by maestro Adriano Pennino, the desire to sing his songs and the classic pieces of Neapolitan song and a ramshackle and comical crew that will also make the crossing very entertaining.
From February 27 to March 1, the public will be able to appreciate Francesco Cicchella in “Millevoci tonight show”, a one-man comedy-musical show directed by Gigi Proietti, in which Cicchella puts his skills as a comedian, singer and entertainer into play. The title winks at the historic Rai1 variety show “Milleluci” and the contemporary American “Tonight show”, summarizing one of the main criteria of the show: blending the traditional elements of the variety show with a fresher, more modern and innovative concept of the one-man show.
In March, Gino Rivieccio arrives, ready to entertain the audience with “Cavalli di ritorno 2.0” (from 13 to 15 March) and his life targeted online by a fan who takes possession of his data and his profile to mock and blackmail him in front of everyone; and I Ditelo Voi with “Il Mistero della violaciocca” (from 27 to 29 March), a hilarious black comedy in which there will be no shortage of lies, jealousies and twists, with the extravagant residents of a high-class Naples building who will find themselves, against their will, having to face a secret together.
