In Italy, the musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, produced by Compagnia della Rancia and directed by Saverio Marconi, is a phenomenon that has more than 1,800 replicas with 2,000,000 spectators at the theater and, after an amazing winter tour in the main Italian theaters, also returns in the summer in the main arenas. An overwhelming party that has turned on Italian audiences since 1997 and started the musical-mania, transforming itself into a real “pop” costume phenomenon, an intergenerational cult that has never been so relevant.
