UChristina Bennington ungene Ukuphuma esihogweni .Ifoto encinci yeFang Ukhe weva malunga nombhali otyholwa ngokuthuka ubukrelekrele babaphulaphuli? Akunakwenzeka oko, waphunga. Abanawo. Ndingayenza loo ntetho inye yesihlwele malunga nesiqhu esineqhayiya somculo weqonga Ukuphuma esihogweni , yafumana ilitye likagaxekile, elineenwele ezikhulu nguJim Steinman kwaye baqala ukukhala ngokungafi yiNyama yeSonka. Kodwa emva koko, ndandingomnye wezo ntshutshiso zibangelwa liZiko lesiXeko saseNew York, ndigqobhoza intloko kwaye ndibethela esihlalweni sam ukuba ndinyamezele, ukuba ndineentloni, zakudala ze-FM.
Ubuncinci, bendiyinto yokuqala. Ngeeyure ezimbini nemizuzu engama-40, Ukuphuma esihogweni ifana neengoma ezininzi zikaSteinman: zide kakhulu, ziphindaphindeka kakhulu, kwaye zine-dopey kakhulu ukugcina i-buzz. Kwaye u! USteinman wayebonakala ngathi uyayazi into awayaziyo uWagner: Nokuba uhleka kangakanani na umthombo wolwazi lwakho, ukuba uyayikrankisha, uxakeke ngengxolo yangemva kwetoni, kwaye uphinda-phinde uye kwi-angst yokufikisa, abanye baya kuyibiza ngokuba bubugcisa. Okanye izigidi ziya kuthenga i-LP. Ke, amashumi eminyaka, uSteinman uthweswe isithsaba njengenkosi ye-opera yamatye, nangona ekwinqanaba Ukuphuma esihogweni nge UTommy okanye Idonga kufana nokwenza uthelekiso-olungenantlonelo ngesiqendu esihle se Iqela le-A kwaye Apocalypse Ngoku .
Ngaba Ukuphuma esihogweni kumnandi? Ewe! —Umangalisa ngokufuthi. Oku kunokubongwa kwimidlalo engenaloyiko kunye nemiphunga emikhulu ngamanqaku amane anetalente; umdaniso ongakhathaliyo kunye nenkxaso yezwi evela kulutsha, ngokudibana okuhlukeneyo; kunye nomphathi we-Jay Scheib's Schaubühne-meets-Barclays-Centre mise en scène echazwa ngcono njengomxube wokubethwa kwengqondo, umboniso wenkunkuma kunye nevidiyo ephilayo ephucukileyo. Ngaba Ukuphuma esihogweni iyadika? Ewe! -Nanini na xa abadlali beyeka ukuqokelela amanqaku kwiindawo ezinamandla kunye nokuhambisa iindawo zikaSteinman zeencwadi eziphambili, intliziyo yakho iyatshona.
Kuba isiseko somculo esisisiseko sinamandla amakhulu, ndinqwenela ukuba uSteinman eze nomdlali odlalayo ebhodini. Izinto ezisisiseko: Sikwikamva laseMelika emva kwembubhiso, apho iiMfazwe zeKhemikhali zishiye abanye abemi betshintshiwe, bemiswa ngokwemvelo beneminyaka eli-18. Ezi zinto zibizwa ngokuba zizikhenkcezisi zihlala emaphethelweni edolophu, zikhwele iibhayisikile, zinxibe ufele, kwaye zingena umdaniso obukhali. Strat (Andrew Polec) yinkokeli yeqela lemigulukudu elahlekileyo. U-Strat unamehlo ku-Raven (uChristina Bennington), intombi ye-amori plutocrat u-Falco (u-Bradley Dean) kunye nenkosikazi yakhe, u-Sloane (u-Lena Hall) ophoxekileyo, ohlala kwindawo ephakamileyo egciniweyo. (Andazi ukuba umguvela ogama linguFalco ngenxa yenkomo yabucala kaSteinman kunye nemvumi ye-1985 ye-Rock Me Amadeus, kodwa makhe siqale amarhe.) Njengoko ubona, iyelenqe yinto ehlekisayo yezinto ezivela UPeter Pan, ibali laseNtshona , I-Threepenny Opera kwaye nayiphi na i-dystopian biker flick.
Inqaku-elinokuthi likhanyiswe ngokusika amanani amahlanu okanye amathandathu angaphandle-liquka lawo ulindeleyo: Zonke eziVuselelweyo zingenandawo yokuya kuyo, iZulu liyakwazi ukulinda, isiBini kwabaThathu asibi, wawathatha la mazwi kanye Umlomo wam nangaphezulu. Kunye nokuninzi. Okuninzi. Emva kweeyure ezimbini, isitayile somculo sikaSteinman — thatha intetho ethile, yibhomboloze kangangemizuzu emithandathu ngelixa uPhil Spektor noBruce Springsteen bedibanisa amandla.

Nangona kunjalo, andikaze ndibone umsebenzi weqonga onomdla kwizinto ezinje. I-Polec, njengelitye elingenasinxibo, i-mike-twirling rock i-Adonis, inamandla ahlekisayo asendle ahamba indlela ende ukunciphisa ubundlobongela baseStrat ngokwesini, iimpembelelo zikaManson-ish. Amehlo agog, eqhekeka egigitheka njengamakhwenkwe, iPolec's Strat ibonakala ngathi iyindibanisela engaqhelekanga kodwa egqibeleleyo kaPeter Frampton noRik Mayall Abaselula . Amandla ombane kaPetite uBennington wenza uhambo lukaRaven olusuka kwi-brat eyonakeleyo ukuya kumvukeli othembekileyo ngokwesini othembekileyo nonika amandla-kwaye yena (kunye nokuvuswa komlawuli nguScheib) kunceda ukunqanda ezinye ze-phallocentric ezingaphaya kukaSteinman. IHolo sikaSloane louche ngokukhethekileyo kunye nothixo wam, imibhobho kuloo mfazi. Xa yena kunye no-Dean duet duet kwi-epic ballad yolutsha oluxhuma kwisitulo esingasemva, iParadesi ngoKhanyiso lweDashboard, uziva ngathi bayayivakalisa eyona ntonga iphambili yomnqweno wokufikisa. I-Scheib iphelisa inani ngeRaven enezothe ikrazula i-motor block emotweni kwaye iyiphose kwi-orchestra. Ngenxa yesenzo sopopayi, ndikulungele ukuxolela uSteinman Umdaniso weeVampire .
Ndiyenza ibonakale imnandi, kodwa emva kwekhefu, intumekelelo iphela ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Ewe, ukubonwa kwe-pulp ngenkohlakalo (kuhlala kuyimfama) kuyasebenza kwaye amanani aphumeleleyo-inani lokuvula elinobundlobongela, isiphelo sokugqibela esinqwenelekayo (Bat Out of Hell), kunye nesisa, ividiyo-haunted romantic scene for Strat and Raven (Ukwenza Uthando lungabikho kwanto konke konke) -izindawo eziphezulu zoyilo kunye neethoni. Kodwa isenzo sesibini siyangqengqa siqhubeke, nokuba abadlali beqonga nabasebenza nzima kangakanani. Ibinzana lesihloko, yenye yezo ntetho zikhuthazayo zikhuthaza uSteinman, zithetha ngesantya esikhethekileyo kunye nenjongo. Okumangalisayo kukuba, ezo zinto zezona zibalulekileyo zinqongopheleyo njengeemoto zemidlalo ezingenagesi kunye nezithuthuthu ezitshiza zema endleleni enothuli, ezinzulwini zobusuku.
