The famous British producer Tony Cartwright has started working on the musical about the notorious Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich, the Mail On Sunday informs.
The tycoon is ready to give more than 160 million dollars for creation of a musical about his persona. According to the British weekly, Mr. Abramovich has already got acquainted with the story and the lyrics. Now the authors are waiting for the entrepreneurs final agreement to the musical project.
Our task now is not to criticize the Russian businessman, but to show his actions in a positive light Tony Cartwright explains.
Both the wives of Roman Abramovich will sing solo All This Was Nearly Mine, All This Is Really Mine.
Boris Berezovsky will sing about oil issues and ponder over the liquidation of the President (I"m Thinkin" Of Shootin" Putin).
The musical production will be made after the biography of Mr. Abramovich under the title «The Billionaire From Nowhere» by Chris Hutchins and Dominic Midgley.
The creators of the musical plan to show it next year in Moscow, New York, Tokyo, Paris and London.
Theatricals about Russia seem to be getting quite popular in Europe: the German Hans Otto Theater is staging a play about Anna Politkovskaya and President Putin, while the English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is engaged in creating the musical The Master and Margarita.
